You don't have to reach 5k in 30 minutes to graduate........just run for 30 mins three times in a week.

If you look at this poll of graduates you will see that only a small proportion do that during the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

The best pace for C25k is one at which you can speak clear, ungasping sentences as you run, to make sure that you can supply the oxygen required by your muscles.

Please read the guide to the plan if you have any doubts.
