It's about to get serious!
I've been doing intermittent jog/walking for about a year. I haven't really improved much mostly because I'm by myself so I don't really challenge myself.
![]() Two months ago, I joined some ladies who were working a couch-to-5k program. I have done some improvement and I like it. I do better with other people, but I didn't feel pressure to compete, either. Until this morning. They are signing up for a real 5k+Fitness challenge and we are supposed to start some serious "training" on Monday. ![]() |

Good luck Lucy!
Sounds like you are nearly there, if you can already walk-jog 5km (~3miles?). Would love to know how you get on. |

I've been walking it almost daily for a few years, Mrs. X. Running it is a whole 'nother story!

Re: It's about to get serious!
We never got to that race. I never completed the C25K program. But I have not quit.
I recently extended distance to 5 miles, 5 days a week, walking and jogging. My time is actually 20% better when I'm by myself. ![]() |

Re: It's about to get serious!
I did some interval running/walking/sprinting today. My app said I burned over 500 calories in the 40min workout.
So I came in and ate a brownie. ![]() |
