I am a graduate and am slow too Samzie46. I use the treadmill every now and again and am slow on that. The main thing is, I get up and do it! It’s not about speed but stamina. Enjoy. 👍🏻👏🏻

Just for now forget distance. Run the time in a pace you can handle. Build your stamina and endurance. With regular running your speed will improve, but dont push it. If you try to do too much you will injure yourself.

The pace you should run C25K at is an easy conversational pace. If you gasp for breath, you are too fast. This pace will be different for each individual, so other people's settings are not very relevant.
90% of graduates do not complete 5k in 30 minutes at graduation.
Thanks for your reply. I kept trying to tell myself that but reading others walking at speeds I am running at left me feeling I wasn't trying hard enough.
