Title says it all really - I am well chuffed :-). It took slightly longer at about 40 minutes but that is fine.
I am really chuffed at how sustainable it was, at no point was I gasping for breath - it was challenging, sure, but sustainable is a good description I think.
I read a post recently about 'we achieve what we expect to - expect a 3K and after 3K you will be tired, expect a 4K and after 4K you will be tired etc.', and this certainly seems to be consistent with that. During week 9 I ran for 30 minutes (~4K) and then felt I needed to stop. No way could I have done 5K then.
Now, a couple of days later - the second 5K baby!
So - try not running for a given duration, just go slow and see how far you can go :-).
which is going to be nowhere near that far! I was supposed to head out at 6am for it but well.... bed was cosier. Decided to postpone it till this evening. 
Post-grad run 7 - my second 5k
Graduated Couch to 5K but not running 5K yet!!
Graduated with running my first 5k
Second park run and a new 5k PB 😃
Well done. I'm on week 3 and kind of have the same outlook in that I won't look ahead at what each run involves. If I do that I count every single running section and mentally hit a bit of a block. After week 2 run 1 I don't count anymore and I haven't looked ahead at what each run involves in terms of running/walking. I just put the podcast on and get out there and do it.
