Hi I've been doing c25k for ages. Been running since May this year and will reasonably easy run 5km. Problem for me is that I'm so slow compared to what I'd like to be and can't seem to speed it up. I'm doing 7.5minute km so my 5km takes 37
Minutes. Id really like to work towards getting it under 30 minutes. I start off slow thinking it's important to run for the full time and taking it steady means I won't wear myself out. I'm running at full capacity (legs ache, breathing hard and wouldn't easily hold conversation). I go to the gym a lot usually doing 20-30 minutes on cross trainer and weights. I tried a personal trainer but all they did was have me squat for 30 minutes and tell me about their 30th birthday party 🙄 if about 2-3 stone overweight at mo (menopause but that's another thread). Any advice? Thanks
