I think I'll do a park run as part of my 3x5k a week so I can see how long it takes me. Then onto the podcast "Bridge to 10k"

Do you know how far you are running? I am nowhere near 5k in 30mins. Closer to 4k. Just wondered if i am seriously slow or lots of C25K runners do not get to 5k by the end of the programme.

primaballerina in reply to Greysurfer

Oh, yes Greysurfer, I know EXACTLY how far I'm running... at it's SH1T... I'm not making 3km by 30 mins... about 2.7 ish... I did 3K accidently in W8 and it took 3 seconds short of 36 mins! LOL

I'm told it's duration, duration, duration...

My consolidation 'year' will be when I do 5k in 30 minutes (here's dreaming!)

Although I'm an 'expert' in japanese slow running!

Grey surfer, most c25kers don't run 5k in 30 minutes, the program is misnamed really, it's intended to get you running for 30 minutes. I still haven't managed it! Although many graduates make that their next target. I currently run 5k in about 35 minutes.

Well done!

Although the app is couch to 5K very few get to 5K it’s more about the 30 mins continuous run. Don’t worry about distance, you will get quicker. If you can run 30 minutes solid and you couldn’t 9ish week ago you have made an amazing progress. From now on it’s recommended you run for 30 mins 2-3 times a week. Try and vary your routes, music you listen to, and your pace. Just ‘enjoy’ that you can run with some kind of ease. I only graduated a couple of weeks ago and that’s what I’m doing until I decide if I’m going to try to do 10k. I’ve got a 5K in May that I’ve paid to do and planning one in the beg of July. Plus park run is free Sat morn which is a race against your time. Just enjoy your achievement. Good luck x
