W6r3 on hols!

Finished w6 on Friday despite being on holiday in Greece. Struggling with the heat and making time for the run but I'm now feeling quite "invested". I'm struggling to get my speed to faster than 10 mins per km, though at that speed I feel confident in being able to complete the tasks (just). My warm up/run/warm down distance is approx 3.6 km so I'm nowhere near the 5km yet.

Should I not bother with my speed right now?

I'm not an expert and am currently running at a speed slower than your average tortoise, but from what I've seen on here the advice seems to be to get to 30 mins running and then work on the speed bit after that.
