Week 8 not hitting 5k

[Rutheybabe]

Yay managed my 3 x 25minute runs now in to 28, still can't make 5k though, does thus matter

No, no no... Not all... Just head for the 30 minute runs... that is all it takes

Many friends on the forum ever make 5K in 30 minutes and there are so, so many posts about this...many never do it, and don't choose to.. many are half marathon and marathon runners too

Just reach the podium safely and having had fun...

Nearly there! My graduation run was at a park run (5k) but I still did my 5 mins warm up walk, ran for 30 mins and did my cool down to the finish. Although I didn't run 5k I graduated safely. It took a few weeks to get to 5k running but then in August last year I couldn't run for 60 seconds!

It's all a matter of perspective! You are doing incredible 👏

naaa , after you finish the 30 just stick to 30, you just get quicker naturally.

Nope...if you complete your runs you're doing great 👍😁
