25F, plateauing, 5’7”, 275 pounds, walk/jogged a 5K in 45 min

Hello all!

I began my weight loss journey in June 2019 with OrangeTheory at 350 pounds and have lost 75 pounds since I began. I walked a 5K last year and it took me an hour and 10 minutes. Two days ago, I walk/jogged the Houston Rodeo Run 5K in 45 min. and 20 seconds.

I was pretty proud of myself, but I’ve been reading online how I really need to push myself more. I guess I’m at a bit of a crossroads and don’t know where to go next. Should I train for a 10k next? Continue training for 5K’s until I get to a certain time?

I’m mainly worried about all the pressure on my knees and realize that weight loss will help that above all... I’ve hit a bit of a plateau these past 3 months. Now that my 5K has passed, I’m going to focus a bit more on weightlifting, while still continuing to train for the next running event.

Do you all think my time was good? Bad? What should I be striving for? Could I ever run a marathon? Or even a half marathon? Thanks all!
