just completed the above run and for the first time I tracked the run.3.8k in 26 min20 s ( sorry Laura I did 1 extra minute rather than speed up as I am sure that hurt my shins on W6r1)
now for the first time thinking how far am I really off getting the 5 k in 30 minutes l know this is not the challenge. I only started this to get a bit fitter, drop the BP and loose a bit if weight (tick all 3) so timing has never been an issue just reaching the 5k by week 9 was my goal 😊
I can't comment on the times IanD62 , but I've also experienced the benefit of the holy trinity you've mentioned.
Plus the psychological boosts, it's been quite an experience 
Many congratulations on the three big achievements. That's fab! Don't worry about doing 5K by week 9. This running thing is, hopefully, a life long commitment and therefore what's the hurry? You'll need a goal after graduation and reaching 5K is a good one!
Running for 30 minutes 3 times a week is a fantastic acheivement.😊
Your goal is to graduate...the distance will come later. You will run 5k (I have now but I don't do it very often) but the benefits of regular 30 min runs are priceless... Go you.. Your badge is your goal.x
