Well, we'll see how I'm doing at week 9. I know I'm not running anywhere near as fast as I used to. My route this morning was 2.9 km according to Google Maps -- which isn't bad at all, given that I'm only running about 9 minutes of 30 at this point. Interesting note: Google Maps claims that the route is walkable in 35 minutes. My husband might manage that, but I certainly wouldn't.
And the way this program works on building stamina is to focus on the intervals -- the first week, I only ran 60 seconds at a time, recovering for 90 seconds between each; this week, it was 90 second runs, recovering for 2 minutes between each. That means the time run went from 8 minutes to 9 minutes. Not a huge leap.
