Comleted this morning, difficult conditions strong head wind.after i finished 30 mins, found some local runners and tucked in behind them and found their faster pace easier for a short while anyway.
Wk 9 run 1 pace? : Comleted this morning... - Couch to 5K
Wk 9 run 1 pace?
Their pace was easier because it was slower?
Maybe try a really slow wk9 R2 and see how much you enjoy it?
You're so nearly there. You've got all the time in the world to worry about pace

It says their pace was faster?
I'm a new graduate. I find I prefer a faster pace (I think the 160bpm from Stepping Stone or the faster pace I do for the last minute of my 30 min run) but I can't sustain that for 30 mins. At the moment I'm just consolidating with the hope that eventually I'll be able to run for 30 mins at a faster pace. I think it's working as my last run was my fastest yet.
I know what you mean about the faster pace feeling easier, but as you say, it's not necessarily something you can keep up. Try to relax, just do the runs on the programme at the easy steady pace for you and it will all be fine.
