my usual mile is AT BEST 14:03, but today I ran a 12:43! I cant believe it and I’m so proud of myself! I’m going to start the C25k training by Monday/Tuesday of next week. Need the next few days to read the program, download the podcasts etc. But my new mile time makes me want to be able to work on my distance and endurance, so COUCH25k, I’m officially coming at you by next week!

Question for c25k(ers) and Runners: I’ve been reading the C25k plan, and some of the forums, and I don’t think I should start c25k from the first week, because im not starting from “couch” and I can jog/run 13 minutes without stopping.   So do you think I should/can start at week four, or is that too ambitious?  I don’t want to get ahead of myself, nor do I want to burn out too fast, but I’m also definitely past week 1 and 2.  I also could consider starting at week 3, but the problem is that I run on a treadmill, so how would I calculate 200 and 400 yards? is there an easy mile equivalent to that? So, thoughts?! Help? Criticism? Am I crazy and should I be starting at week 1? or am I okay?  also, for some background info, I run my mile between the speeds of 4.6-5.0 usually 4.8 for like 6-8 min, than 4.6 for the middle, than 5.0 for the last 10th of a mile.

Thanks!! I appreciate the help and advice!!!
