Getting ready to do W3D3....also very slow. Never get close to 5K in 30minutes....I have been adding some walk/jog time at the end (what ever feels good) to get closer to the mileage. Anyone who has done this in the past....what do you recommend. Complete program and THEN work on pace? or repeat weeks increasing pace.

When I completed it in the past I was never close to a 5K in 30 minutes either but I just stuck with what the program told me. I discovered that as I kept with it I got stronger (and smaller) and therefore could run slightly faster but my normal was about 11-12 minutes per mile.
Also, during the program I never ran more than 30 minutes but when I ran my first 5K I was able to run for 38 minutes straight and complete it. Just stick with it and remember even though you may be "slow" you are still lapping everyone on the couch.0 -
Over the long weekend I completed W1D2 and W1D3. Both days went pretty well. Ready for W2D1 either tomorrow or Wednesday.0
