I actually did it! Today I completed my final 30 minute run and Iโ€™m so proud of myself as I cannot believe I can run for a full 30 minutes! However I am not covering the 5k in 30 minutes does that mean Iโ€™m really slow?? ๐ŸŒ ๐ŸŒ

Congratulations!

Not running 5k yet means youโ€™re in a group of over 90% of graduates! Consolidation next and then you can work on speed if youโ€™d like to. Have a great celebration evening.

YAAAAAAY Major CONGRATULATIONS. Doesn't it feel great when you get there?! โ˜บ

I currently do 5k in about 40-41 minutes. Average pace of 8 minutes per km. I'm ok with this slow or not so slow. Don't worry about it. Over time as you get even stronger you can chip away at it or instead you might choose to focus on longer distance rather than speed/time. But first, bathe in the glory of graduating... RESPECT!
