Couch to 5 k graduate here. Finished in the spring and have kept on running through the summer. I'm training for a 10k in December and have done quite well at increasing my distance - I can do 10k now and run continuously for 75 minutes.
But the thing is I seem to only be able to run at two speeds - slow and v slow!
I have a training plan for the 10k which includes an interval training session - run faster for 1 minutes and then 1 min walk recover * 10. I hate this session with a passion. I can hardly manage to run fast for a minute and feel as if I'm going to pass out after about 45seconds. But when I tried to do it a bit slower I just ended up at my normal plodding pace.
Will it get better with time or should I just resign myself to tortoise like progress forever (I'm 45+ so no spring chicken)
