First 5K!!!

So after a long journey ive come to W9R3 this week and today was my first graduate run - finally ran 5K BUT it took me about 45 minutes my pace is really slow and i dont know how should i keep training from here - focus on distance or better pace? Any advice?

Congratulations😊

Its up to you where your running takes you now. Run for 30 mins til it becomes a bit easier. Do some shorter runs and some longer ones getting to the 5k mark. C25K + Podcasts are available for graduates to try new things...

Good luck and very well done.🎉🎉🎉

Extra brownie points for reaching 5k.

Don't forget to ask for your graduation badge on the pinned posts below.

It took me 47 minutes to run the 5k, I may be slow but I did it, and better still enjoyed it.
