[quote=Anonymous]I was a non-runner all my life...until I did C25K in 2009. After that, I did a woman's running program through a local running club and ran my first 5k race in 34:11. For a few years I was a fall and spring only runner and hovered around an 11 minute mile. This past fall, though, I kept at it when the weather got cold and went from 3 to 5 days per week. Found an amazing running partner. Added hills and a day per week at the track. On Mother's Day weekend, I ran a 5k in 24:12. You can do it, OP!! Running can be so so good, physically and mentally. Take it easy and keep at it. Don't worry about pace at all...you should be able to talk while you run. Over time, add more time to your runs and build up endurance. When I was struggling with C25k (maybe around wk 5) I just repeated a workout or two until I felt comfortable. Don't add any speed work until you have a solid base.[/quote]
