Just be careful... Your cardiopulmonary system (heart and lungs) are the best governor you have on making sure you don't run too fast or too far, but it only takes 5-6 weeks for adaptations to occur. Your musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones) takes 6-8 weeks to adapt, though, so it's easy (especially for beginners) to realize a couple months in that they aren't getting slowed down by a pounding heart or lack of breath and start doing too much before they are ready and then they pull a muscle or get a stress fracture. Not that you probably have much to worry about since you've been very careful with it and followed the C25k pretty closely, but just thought that that was an interesting tidbit that goes along with being able to run at a conversational pace. Nice work! Awesome!
