5K in 32.25 minutes on the treadmill

Quite good! I completed 3.1 miles in 32.25 minutes today evening after work in the Gym. Ran for 2 miles without walking (first mile in 12 minutes and next mile in 10 minutes), walked for three minutes and ran the rest of the distance. Ran short spurts at the rate of 7.5 miles per hour twice.

This definitely measures very well against the Couch-to-5K plan details - but then I wasn't exactly a couch-potato when I started on this :)

It does look realistic that I can cut atleast 5 minutes off this time over the next 3 weeks. May not be able to finish in 25 minutes, but I guess finishing the 5K race in less than 30 minutes would be something to be proud of!
