Yesterday I managed 20mins without stopping..yes my pace is slow but I did it! Feeling v.proud. Just a wee bit concerned that I'll be nowhere near 5K at the end of the 9weeks though.

Well done.

The stated aim of the programme is to get you running non stop for thirty minutes, which for some will be 5k, but only about five to ten percent of graduates on this forum achieve the 5k in under thirty minutes.

Just show W6R1 respect. It is tougher than many suspect.

The guide to the plan covers all these points healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Congrats on the 20 minuter, as IannodaTruffe says the W6R1 can catch you out. But as he’s given you the heads up I am sure you will be fine. Don’t fret about the distance, so few of us manage the fabled 5k in 30 minutes - I am close now but that is 6 month post graduation.

Very well done and happy running in W6

You do not need to be running 5K...just the 30 minutes:)

Keep it slow and steady... you are doing just fine:)

Yeah! Well done on that 20 min run BevBeep.. you are doing brilliantly 😊

You can work on getting to 5k once you have graduated, in a few weeks you will be running for 30 mins! Believe it😊xx
