First 5k

[Shaz47]

Today I ran my first 5k I felt really good but disappointed that the time was 32:26

For a first 5km that's a fantastic time. Well done. I was only doing 3.2km at 32min when I graduated. Feel proud.

[Suebguineapig Graduate]

Ha, I would be jumping for joy. Well done!

[AncientMum Graduate]

Blimey, that's a great time. My first 5k was about 38minutes! Be proud not disappointed

Are you for real? You've never run before c25k, and your dissapointed with that time!? you really make me laugh!😂 That is a super excellent time for your first 5k, so stop being so hard on yourself, and carry on, but take it easy or you could end up on the IC, after all, there's no rush to do super fast times is there? 😊

It's a good time - relax

[BoltonGnome Graduate]

I've still not reached 5k yet - a week after graduating - so you have done really well in that time. I know what you're getting at. The whole 30 mins and 5k go together but speed can always be built up. Good luck with your next run!

[sparky66 Graduate]

Super speedy .. I graduated weeks and weeks ago and 5k still takes me about 43 minutes

So great going shaz

[McFitty Graduate]

Oh I feel your pain... what???? 32.26, what a fabulous, fabulous time for a first 5k. Jealous. Much.

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

??🤔 You should be more than pleased with that for a first 5k!👍🏃🏻😀

[Shivani05 Graduate]

That's excellent time.

[Slinkyminky Graduate]

OMG I'd be absolutely chuffed if I managed that time!!

Mine is 50 mins and I was still chuffed because I'd actually run 5k!!!

[McFitty Graduate in reply to Slinkyminky]

You're faster than me Slinky I keep telling myself I'll be faster when I get out of the garden and into the big wide world, I shall see next week!

[ju-ju- Graduate]

Thats a superb time, please dont feel disheartened.

[Shaz47]

Thanks everyone I genuinely thought it was a slow time and that you need to do 5k in 30mins , I will try not to be to hard on myself. Have a great weekend one and all.

This is where the C25K gets a bet wrap. It's really couch to running for 30 minutes straight! I finished the program over 4 years ago, and have been running consistently since then. My BEST 5k is still only 33 minutes. My first one was 48. By my measure, you're doing amazingly well!

[Hidden]

Well done ! That's brilliant and seems very fast to me for your first 5k! Celebrate!!

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Nothing to be disappointed about there! Well done!

[Natasha-H Graduate]

Amazing! I'd be so happy with that time well done you!

[poppypug Graduate]

Wow ! You should be so pleased with that time, that's amazing !

Well done you ! xxx
