About 6 weeks after graduating. I've stuck to running 3 times a week and tried to increase by 0.25km per week, and today I am really pleased to have done 5k. Took me 47 minutes, which I am also quite pleased with !
Just did my first full 5k: About 6 weeks after... - Couch to 5K
Just did my first full 5k

Congratulations job well done. Its the right way to go about reaching that magic 5K. So you now have a time to work towards reducing, enjoy your running while you work at it and good luck.

That's fantastic - I graduated last week & still sticking to 3 runs a week but the elusive 5k is still out of my reach. Your post gives me hope that I'll get there

Fantastic, well done! I will graduate on Friday and my next plan is to work up to 5k, then a Parkrun. Nice to hear graduates are still working at increasing distance and I won't be the only one! x
Congrats to you !!! well done bet regards

Thanks for this post, it gives us who have yet to graduate a great idea of what comes after the programme and how to get to the 5k sensibly. Well done on your 5k, you deserve to be chuffed with yourself
Well done and congratulations. There is hope for me yet. Best wishes.
