After 4 runs I'm back into running again. After graduating in May and not reaching 5k I feel this time it may just be completed. Target is 5k in less that 30 Mins for my 60th Birthday in December.

It is certainly achievable by a large proportion of runners, but do remember that it is a totally arbitrary distance/duration target.

The best way to get faster is to spend 75-80% of your running time at an easy conversational pace and only push hard for the remainder of your running time.
