Yes very slow, but I hey I can run for 40mins! Oh my god it was tough, but I was sure I could do it if I just pushed myself, and kept thinking about what Laura says, that pushing yourself to the end of a tough run is how you build fitness. I also achieved my fastest pace yet! My furthest previous run was 3.8km in the 30 min run, so v. happy indeed.
First post-grad run - ran 5.19km in 41 min! - Couch to 5K

Well done that's brill , bet your on a runners high
Yes it is slow, but only if you compre youreslf with the like of Mo! Compared to us lesser mortals, it is a perfectly respectable time for a bit over 5k. Look at the Parkrun times and see where you would come ~ and you most certainly wouldn't be last.
I am impressed that you have stuck with it and are now a fully-fledged runner. Too many give up and fall by the way-side, but not you. You have kept at it and look at you now...
You should be VERY PROUD of yourself.
