It seems my app takes me to 40:min run on wk nine wheteas c25k nhs does 30 mins on wk 9. So what are we aiming at 30 min run or 5k or both? Confused

If you are using a different app then I suggest you check out the stated aims of the training plan.

The NHS C25k plan clearly states that the aim is to run 30 mins non stop, three times to graduate. The majority of graduates from this plan, according to a poll done on this forum, do not cover 5k in 30 mins at graduation. Some do.

That skes sense then. My app seems to be aiming at 5k in 40 mins so will aim at graduating on both apps. Thank you
