Not ready

I discovered this week that I am not ready for the running program I chose to work on after C25K. My body is just not ready to run 5 days a week or for speed work. I'm disappointed but I'm willing to try something different.

Surprisingly, a 10K program seems like it will work better. Even though I don't see myself running a 10K any time soon, the 10K program actually has shorter runs than the program to increase 5K speeds. And it's only 3 days a week of running with scheduled strength training on the off days. I have been doing very little strength training, and I know I need to add this, so that is definitely a plus with this program.

So, my revised post-C25K plan is Hal Higdon's 10K Training for Novices.
