Hmm -- before I can comment on your pace, I need to know (for the purposes of comparison ) how many other 60+ YO people in your community who can run 3klms in 30 minutes -- no, --wait -- I further need to know how many 60+ people in your community can run 3Klms at any pace??
Well done, grannyjudes. You're posts are really keeping me going, if you can do it, what excuse do I have not to??

Ditto all the above positive comments. Being able to run for 30 minutes is a huge achievement, well done you!
Ah well done Judes that's amazing! Not long to go now xx

Very nearly there now grannyjudes! Who cares about speed - not many grannies out there who can run for 30 minutes non stop!
Are you planning something spectacular for your graduation run?

30 minutes running is 30 minutes running. That is something to be proud about grannyjudes! Nearly there now!

Congratulations grannyjudes , that's fantastic . Keep up the good work .
Wow ! Two more runs to graduation, will you finish on the weekend ? Just need to know so can send you virtual good wishes via the medium of positive thoughts....You're doing SO well.
![grannyjudes profile image](https://images.hu-production.be/avatars/d592e9b7382d4e6f6492365a88d8865c_small@2x_100x100.jpg)
Im not sure, I kinda want to run in the local woods to graduate, but I need a lift there and my OH thinks I have lost the plot ! ( he loves me really, I think !! )
A young bloke down the road came back today from a 30 minute run... he said "I just had a 30 minute run"... He didn't tell me how far he'd gone (and I didn't care)... he'd been for a 30 minute run...
That's what you just did... he was all of about 22 and did 30 minutes running today... you did 30 minutes running today... you're a runner...
Actually, I think you have nailed the "problem" right there -- we should all be running for an allotted time, rather than distance. C25K takes us to 30 minutes -- C25K+ takes us to 35 minutes (Stamina podcast) -- C210K takes us to 60 minutes via 40,45,51,54 minute extensions. The "jumps" in time can be shortened or lengthened as desired depending on individual levels of fitness (and the effort/pace put into a run). The final goal of B210K , to run for one hour non-stop, can be done at distinctly different levels of effort.
I have noticed that the music on these podcasts has a very slow beat - most of them are quite uncomfortable for me to run at, but I am coming to understand that this is deliberate, because the aim is for us to complete these running times at a really easy pace, until we get to the eventual 60 minute goal. After that goal is achieved we can up the pace and effort applied. I am thinking that this concentration on "distance" instead of time spent running is a bit of a problem - at least it is for me.

I think you're amazing grannyjudes - I remember your struggles and knee pain in the early weeks, but you did not give up and look at you now! Graduation party next week?

Well done you!!! Fantastic.
Speed is over rated. Just means you are back at the start so much earlier and have to face the daily grind

Well done! I agree with everyone above: thirty minutes is a brilliant achievement, the distance doesn't matter! Very well done; soon you'll be graduating!
Way to go lady!! Chuffed to bits for you - great achievement!

I think my english is starting to fail me! All I seem to understand is "I ran for 30 minutes"!
Hope you have booked the town crier for your graduation!
Well done and best of luck for your last 2 runs.
