Week 9 Run 1 completed- very slowly! I'm covering 4K so need to step it up ( or run for a longer time) to achieve the 5K. Just amazed that I can keep going for 30 minutes whatever the distance covered.

Well done, that shiny graduation badge is within your grasp. Don't worry about the distance. The programme is slightly misnamed as it's really about getting you running for 30 minutes. However "Couch to 5K" is much catchier than "Couch to Running for 30 Minutes".

Be happy with your 4K for now. Distance can be extended after you graduate once you've got comfortable with this longer duration

👍🏽
