5k during week 7

And that does not include the walk. Obviously my cycling fitness has helped immensely and I will not give up on the app but I am very proud of what I have achieved going from no running to running 5k in 25 mins during week 7. Do I graduate now or do I have to run for 30 minutes first?

You have to finish the nine weeks...5 minutes per K is a very fast time.. but to Graduate you do nine weeks and the 30 minutes:)

Couple of slow ones and you can start working on that 20 minuter 😂

Great run! What the boss said about graduation.

Well done.

We all want to be fast, but it is recommended to do, as elite athletes do, which is to spend 75-80% of their running time building stamina and endurance by running at an easy conversational pace.
