edited September 26 in Fitness and Exercise
Ok, so today I decided to begin the C25K program (treadmill version)...I completed it successfully, 180 of my 844 calories today were burned during the C25K session...

My walking speed was 3.0-3.8, and my running speed was 4.5-5.2...The incline was at 0.

If anyone else is doing this, what are your speeds? I'm just curious...

PS: The android app C25K lite is PERFECT and FREE! Made the session go by VERY quickly.

PPS: I did search for this, but the results I got did not help...way too much to sift through as well.

    I am currently doing a treadmill version and am at 0 incline. I tend to get up to a speed of 4.8 for my jogging and a 3.7 for my walking.... I try to jog faster at the third day of each week but I am more or less going for time vs speed... im sure when I am done, ill bump up the incline... and start over :)

    im on week 2 of my c25k and my brisk walk is normally 3.5, and my jogging today was 5.0. normally its 5.5, but ive been on vacation for 2 weeks so i had to ease back in. i use these podcasts that talk you through it, like when to start your jog and when to slow back down. its very encouraging as well. i just searched the itunes store for c25k and they popped right up, and they're free. the podcast recommend increasing your jog pace each day for that week you're working on, so on thursday i'll prob be joggin at 5.5 and 6.0 on saturday.

    My c25k speeds right now are 3.5 walk and 4.7-5.2 jog with a 1.0 incline. I have it set at a slight incline because I eventually plan to run outside. My knees are pretty temperamental due to a connective tissue issue so I am building up some endurance first! I can job 13min solid without stopping but that's IT! So I am doing all of c25k to really work on getting to the complete 3.1 miles. :-D

    I usually do 5.0-5.5 for the jog and 3.5 for the walk and sometimes i do 6.0 near the end of the jog (last 30-60 seconds) to push myself

    I'm on week 7 now so i'm running 25 min each time. But when I did the walking break I would walk at 4.1. When I run I start at about 5.4 and then finish around 6. I slowly bump myself up every so often. Tonight I ran at about 5.8 for 10 minutes. The longer you run the more you have to pace yourself I've found. When I had more walking breaks I would try to run a bit faster so I could get my endurance up.

    Replying so I can find this later as I am starting the treadmill version next week as well and was looking for answers on what speeds I should hit. This post was really helpful.

    I started C25K today. My walking speed was 3.5 , running was 4.7, cool down 2.8. I loved it! My goal is to be able to run by the end of October! Having really upbeat music helps!

    I completed week 5 day one, at 5.6 mph jog and 3.4 mph walk at a zero incline, last night. I started the program at a 6.0 mph jog but at week 4 I had to adjust my goal in order to avoid burning out too quickly. My ultimate goal is run a 5k under 30 minutes... I have a long way go but I'll get there! Once I finish the program I will work on increasing my speed.

    I walk at 4.0 and run at 6.0 right now and I go at a 10% incline so that I can transition to running outdoors more easily.

    I have been doing a walk/run on my own. But keep saying I am going to start this. It looks like I can start at a speed that I am comfortable with. I think that is why I keep procrastinating.

    My walking is usually 3.5 - 3.6 and running is 4.6 - 4.7. No incline yet, but I plan to build up my endurance. I'm on week 4 currently. I'm also 5'11" so I don't know if the speeds will help...depending on stride and such.

    Started Week 3 and I walk at 4.0 5% incline and Run at 5.2 1% incline. Some of my weeks I'll be outside so I wanted to build up my stamina so I could handle it.
