The majority of people donโt run 5k by the end of week 9: distance depends on a whole load of variables, like pace, length of stride, terrain, weather etc etc. Youโre doing great ! ๐

Well done grumpygramps_jw, I am sure you are not grumpy, but you are the same age as I am. Don't worry about the time, you have done very well to get to week 9. Most people on C25K only count the time that they run from week 6 run 3 until run 3 of week 9. ๐ Onwards and upwards to runs 2 and 3 of week 9. ๐ ๐ ๐, yes, not long now until you graduate. ๐

Nothing wrong with that!
Well done. If you look at this poll, healthunlocked.com/couchto5.... you will see only a small proportion manage a sub 30 minute 5k at graduation.
