Done feeling good! Just curious to why some people are doing 5k by week 9 and others aren’t Is it to do with pace!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

It is pace, but everyone's pace will be different depending on age, levels of fitness and most importantly route. Easy, flat routes are more likely to bring you a 5k than hilly, lumpy routes.

Ultimately it really doesn't matter. The goal is actually to run for 30mins. If it comes with a 5km distance that's just a bonus 👍😁

So long as you're still moving then you're doing great! 😉😁

You are doing just fine... your way

Well I weighed 101.3 kg at last weigh-in (down about 4kg from winter slob weight). That's like a thin person running with a heavy rucksack. I just hope I'll get faster if the 'rucksack' keeps getting lighter... seems logical ?

I’m about 5kg less than mayaena so I’m also carrying a heavy rucksack. But I’m gradually shedding baggage of all kinds.

I’m nowhere near 5k (3.7k after 33 mins non-stop is my best to date) but I’m slowly building to it.
