I keep reading posts about people not achieving 5k. I don’t think I will either but I don’t really care! I was on a couch 9 weeks ago and I am so pleased that I am now running for 30 minutes non stop, 3 times a week. I would have liked to have lost a few more lbs. but the health benefits of doing this exercise is enough for me. Happy running everyone!

Hear hear! Well done for getting to WK9!

Great stuff - it's so not about the 5k - and for me once I'd got my head round that the running didn't seem so hard. Enjoy your graduation run - you've earned it😊

I'm sure the '5k' idea is just cos it makes a handy title 'couch to 5k' or 'c25k' sounds better than 'couch to half hour' or 'c230m'! Neither of those even hints at running.

Keep plugging at the 30 minutes. I'm sure as it gets more familiar, a little more pace will creep in and the 5k will just happen.
