Well done 👍 5k or not you still run 🏃‍♂️ for 30 minutes which is the aim of the plan. Only 2 more runs until graduation. Good luck. 😊

Yes, it was 3.2 miles according to MapMyRun (think this is around 5K) and I ran to the time on the C25K commentary. Will try and be a bit more consistent next time....I have a target of our local park run by the end of Feb, want to be able to run it competently and safely..😌😌

You may have ran more than a 5K today SalukiX, according to my miles/ kilometer calculator. 3.2 miles are 5.149 kilometers.

5k is 3.107 miles so you did run 5k. I am on week 9 run 2 on Thursday and looking forward to it. 😊🏃‍♂️

Let’s do this. 👍

5 km in 30 minutes is very good and shows you have done your training..

Great run. If it was 5k that’s cool, if not then that target is still there... most of us don’t nail it in the 9 weeks, so if it’s close you’re one of the quickest ones through this. Enjoy run 2
