You state that at the end of the programme that you should be able to run 5K in 30 mins or less - no, you should be able to run 30 mins continuously - distance doesn't matter.

Oh I didn't know thanks for the info

I wonder why it's called couch to 5k ??!

Hey there good luck with the C25K programme. I'm just starting W7 and have gone from barely moving to being able to run for 25mins without stopping. I'm not sure about the app you're using but the NHS original doesn't suggest you'll run for 5k in 30 mins or less. I do nowhere near that distance. I'd hate you to be disappointed. Have a lovely day

Thanks well done for getting to week 7 seems like a long way off for me.

I will be working towards a goal of running 5k in 30 mins even if it's way after I have completed the 8 weeks. 🤗

Great target. Good luck with it. I found the first 4weeks hardest, it seems less scary after that 😀

Nine weeks on the NHS programme. Which one are you following?

Its useful to note and to be aware, some graduates never achieve 5k in 30 mins. Perhaps you are destined to be speedy, fingers crossed🤞🏼
