    I started C25K with 6.0kmh walk and 7.0kmh run intervals. I now run at 8.2kmh but it feels much easier than it used to at 7.0 when I started out!

    For context however: I'm happy with not pushing the speed element as I'm concentrating on improving resilience and endurance; I followed the wisdom of other C25K posters here and really focussed on taking it slowing and building up. I started out at over 300lbs and have remained free of injury so the approach works. I now run 3-4 times a week and average 12-16 miles. Now at 248lbs thanks to a running and a consistent calorie deficit #runningislifechanging.

    On treadmill:
    Walking at 3.5
    Running at 5.5

    (This is my second time doing C25K. Completed it first running at 5.0 and now I'm going through it again at a faster pace in hopes of improving my 5k time)

    I walk at 3 on the TM; jog at 4.4 for the time being. I just finished week 6, day 1 this morning.

    When I'm outside my pace is slightly faster overall, but with the cold bothering my lungs, TM or nothing for now. Unfortunately.

    I'm doing it on the treadmill right now. I walk at 3.5 mph and run at 4.6 mph.
