Just for my own curiousity, what was your average pace when you completed the program, regardless of if you were actually hitting the 5k distance.

    By the end of C25K I was extending my sessions to a full 5K and my fastest 5K at that point was a 34:27 - which is slightly over 11 minute mile pace.

    It took me another 2 months from the end of C25K before I did my first sub-30 minute 5K.

    In the beginning, I was running at a 14 min/mile pace. I just went for a run yesterday, and I did 11 min/mile. I'm pretty happy with that.

    I was running about 12 minute miles in workouts but when I ran my first 5K (right at the end of C25K) I averaged 11:09 per mile.

    I ran a 5k a few weeks after completing it and my official chip time was 32:33, so like 10:30 per mile. Oddly enough I run faster on pavement than I do on the treadmill. On treadmill I tend to go about 3 minutes slower per mile.

    Same here. I can only muster about a 13 minute mile on the treadmill, but I can do 11 minutes outdoors.

    I'm slloooowwwwwwww and totally fine with that. I know I'll get faster the more I do it. I'd say probably a 15 min mile.

    Guessing around an 11 min mile? I was running on an indoor track (unknown length).

    I did a 5k not long after completing the program, and my time was 28:39. So around 9 min/mile?
