I started the C25K a couple of months ago and have been going at my own pace because I also work out at the gym regularly. I therefore could not run 3times a week. I am up to Week 7 day 2 - a 25min run and I am impressed myself. 3 months ago I could not even run for 2 mins straight without feeling like I was going to pass out. I generally run outside but on the odd day I will run on the treadmill. Based on the treadmill I am covering approximately 2.2miles...not close to the 3.1 miles for 1 5K.
I had set a goal from the middle of last year that starting this year I would be running 5Ks frequently. Fortunately where I live, we have them pretty often....averaging 2 per month. The first one is next Saturday (the 15th) and I really want to participate. I am tired of doing the 5K walks, I want to do the 5K runs!
Do you think I should go ahead even though I have not yet completed a personal 5K run?
