    I've graduated C25K and my pace is between 7:45 and 8:30 per Kilometer at the moment. My pace depends on terrain (hill or flat), how tired I am, how hot it is, etc.
    I'm beginning to get to know myself a little bit more as I run along. It's surprising how a little thing can make a big difference.

    I just describe my pace as slow :smile: I'm in week 5, and my best mile time so far was 14 minutes. Better than the 20 it used to take me to walk a mile! I'm going for endurance, not speed right now. But once I finish the program, I'll work on speed.

    Depends on how long I run. 10 miles was 16:20. 4 miles is more in the 12s. If I do a 1 mile interval, it's right around 10.

    Oh, and I'm in week 44. ;)

    I think you've got this, Putcake! This is the right attitude to see you through the program. Endurance is the key.

    I graduated a few weeks ago. I haven't been measuring my speed. Only my distance right now. I will focus on speed once I get to a 10k level, currently I'm @ the 5k endurance level.

    I did w4d2 this morning and my runkeeper app clocked me at 16:32/mile. I'm slow ... I swear I can walk faster than I'm running. BUt I'm more concerned about conquering the distance. Once I have that under my belt, I plan to work on my speed.

    I just finished Week 3, Day 3. My Run double app says that my pace was 11.29 minu/mile but then it says my overall pace was 12.37 min/mile and I guess thats when they average in the walks as well.

    I'm in week 8 (day 2 tonight!). My pre-warmup (so that I can stretch before the real app warm-up, etc.) is 3.1 mph. My warm-up is 3.1 mph also, my run is 4.5 mph and my cool-down varies between 3.2-3.5 mph :)

    Week 4 Day 2

    9:33/mile pace....10:41 with warm up cool down.

    Quick caveat...I was a sprinter in high school, served in the army in a physically demanding mos...and although I have not ran once since 2000, I had been running 5:30 when i first got out of the army...so I imagine as I increase distance, pace will stay same or decrease...i have a long stride which helps.

    I really want to learn to be an endurance runner
