I thought I had been doing well as I started W8 but I decided to check my distance alongside the app and it seems I’m still 1/2 mile off 5k with only a week left ?! Should I be closer to 5k as I start W9 ?

I'm at week 8 and I'm no where near doing 5k ..I am so slow... trying not to focus..sure I can get faster..sounds like you are near to hitting your target..🤩
Hi Sofabunny .. I think I’ve focused too much on reaching 5k in 30 minutes ... we should both congratulate ourselves on reaching week 8 !!! I’m going to forget distance I think ... here’s to W9 👍🏻
You're doing fine! Couch25k is just a catchy title - all you are required to do to graduate is to run for 30mins 3 times. The distance doesn't matter - in fact the majority of people (something like 90%) do not reach 5k in 30mins by the end of week 9. Speed/Distance, if you want to, can be worked on once you've graduated x
Thanks for your reply .... I genuinely thought I needed to be at 5k in 30 minutes... so thanks for your reassurance 😁 I’m going to just concentrate on getting through W9 👍🏻
