Getting to magic 5k

[wmw1973]

So l graduated last week and have managed my 30 mins runs but l am getting 3.74km in my 30 mins not 5k. Am so excited to try Parkrun but feel l need a 5k under my belt first. Do l try increasing the minutes l run (& seeing how far l get) or distance.

Any advice appreciated 😁

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

Many people walk some or all of parkrun, so no need to wait until you can run it all.

Graduate!!! YAY!!

Pick one of your three runs a week, and increase the time that you run by 2 minutes, and increase by 2 minutes each week. But you only need to do this for one of your three runs.

You’ll be running 5km in 6 weeks.
