Advice please! I’ve just completed W6R2 and tbh still amazed that I have got this far at all. The thing that’s bothering me now (apart from pain in the knee) is whether I should be aiming to go faster now in order to reach the average 5k in 30 minutes?
I know the app doesn’t set specific distances/times etc but just want to make sure I get as close to the 5k in 30 minutes as I can and I don’t feel close enough at the moment! Scared I’ve been taking the ‘slow’ running too literally and am behind where I really should be? TIA 😳😬
I would say don't worry about the speed that can come later. The aim of C25K is to run for 30 minutes at a speed that works for you. Most of us on this forum will not achieve 5K in 30 minutes. Make this a goal beyond graduation. Just keep doing what you're doing and enjoy the journey.
Thank you, that has really helped as a reality check for me. As you say I’m doing okay with what I’m doing so no rush to get to that by the end of the 9 weeks - or a while after!
