Today I ran for 20mins that is W5R3, the last 5-6 mins was hard but I’m proud I done it with out stopping! I ran 2.75km according to my Fitbit. Seems like a long way off to be running 5k but I will get there. Xx

It did feel good once I was done. Thank you, week 6 run 1 doesn’t look to bad 🀞 lol x

Well done. That is a respectable distance for 20 mins. 95% don’t reach 5k within the 9 weeks so worry about the duration and not the distance!

Enjoy the next one.

Thank you I wasn’t sure if it was good or not but like you say I’m concentrating on the duration rather than distance for now x

You are on target to be over 4k when you graduate. My graduation run was well under 3.5k. After two and a half weeks of consolidation I’m still not reaching 4k. You are doing well πŸ‘

Aww thanks so much that’s really gave me a boost. I wasn’t really concentrating on distance but today I thought I just see how far I got in 20 mins. Will keep a track now at the end of each week see how I improve. Sounds like your doing fab also tho, your still doing it. Good look to reaching 5k I will keep a look out for your results πŸ‘Œ x
