Posted this on my facebook, but crossposting it here too. My 1 year anniversary of finishing C25K was actually earlier this week and I just didn't realize it.
Quote:
It has been one year since I finished couch to 5k, and my pace was so slow that even when I had finished it, I still was a little short of 5k (made it 2.6 miles out of the 3.1 in the time allowed). My running pace at the time was roughly 13:00 min/mile and I still got too winded and had to take quick walk breaks at times.
In the last year since then, I've run over 200 times for close to 1000 miles.
For anyone that thinks that running would be too tough, or they would be too slow or too old... If I could do it, so can anyone.
