Feeeling v disheartened about my runnning efforts. I started couch to 5K last year and have gradually built up to run 10 K just before Christmas. I was feeling very pleased With my achievement and decided to have a look at pace tables. It took me one hour 30 minutes but looking at the tables that means it took me 14 mins per mile and walking speed is said to be 15 mins per mile FFS!! So all my efforts seem completely pointless if a fit person could walk pretty much as fast as my run . Feel like giving up ;(
For context I am a fat lump and mid 50s .i just don't think I can run any faster though . Wondering what to try next?
