I did it! I graduated today!

I have now completed 3 5k runs ... I’m averaging around 38/39 min runs.

What does everyone else do now? Do you just keep doing a 5k and improve on speed or do we carry on going for the distance/longer runs?

Thanks

Well done! But you only need to do 30 min runs...not 5k every run....

I know but my plan was slightly different in the last week as I did 1 Run a week with a C25k running group. Therefore wk9run 1-3 are run for 5km in your own time. The rest of the plan was the same as the app apart from the last week.
