Just completed the first run of week 9😀 But only managed 4k in 40 minuets (includes warm up & cool down🤣 However not bad for 72 year old man with 4 stents and a pacemaker,

Not bad at all! It’s not about distance in any case! If u completed run u win!

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

The majority of people don’t 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. You’re doing great ! 🏅

[Oldlady57]

Well run gg!!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Doesn't matter than you didn't do 5k , 4k is great 😊😊

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. 😊 Onwards and upwards to runs 2 and 3 of week 9. 😊 🏃 🎓, yes, not long now until you graduate. 😊

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.
