So I've just completed Week 6 Run 2. Decided o only track the main section on Strava. This was a mistake as I now feel really disheartened that I only covered 2.34km in 23 mins. I feel like I will never be able to run the full 5k. Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Snap! I only installed Strava this week - I’m on the same run and covered exactly the same distance.
Surely we just have to think of the progress we’ve made so far. 60 seconds was hard for me at first!

I feel exactly the same way, but I've decided to focus on getting fitter and building stamina as well as the sheer mental exercise of believing I can do this. The end game in week 9 is to run for 30 minutes - the program seems time based - so once I graduate I will then focus on maybe running further and/or faster. For now, I trust in the program!
You're doing soooooooo well - you should be very proud of how far you'vecome in such a short time!
