As promised here is my update as I asked for advice on this run and here I am to say I've completed it! I literally can't believe it and I'm not even nackered!! Definitely not the fastest but I'm not far off my 5k I guess and this far in 5 weeks is incredible! Thanks so much everyone for advice :-)

Really well done. Although it's not about distance.. you can really see how 5k can be completed if you ran for just another 9mins at that pace. Stick with the plan for now...but the future looks good! :-)

Well done you.

Looking at that run from before week 5 frightens most. What most dont realise is that every run prior to that prepares you for it.

Good luck with week 6. It looks easier but does surprise.

Steady and slow.

Hi Steve it's the fitbit app that pairs up with the band for the information. Yeah week six does look much easier but I will approach with caution :-)
