So after graduating I kept up the W9R3 schedule three times a week for a few weeks, adding on a couple of minutes every couple of runs. Finally stretched it out to 5.1k yesterday ... somewhere between 35 and 40 mins so no records being threatened around here ha ha !! Still now I know I can hit the distance, not bothered about the time for now

Congratulations on the first 5k. It’s a good time too, and as it’s a PB to work on.
Well done. It sounds like you are being sensible with your increments. It's the way I plan to go too. All the best.
