Well done, you've absolutely smashed it. You should be very proud. Wouldn't worry about getting to 5K just yet, just focus on consolidating your running at 30 minutes for a couple of weeks then there's some advice in the forum in regards of what you should do next. Good luck on the rest of your running journey! :)

Congratulations on becoming a graduate! Make sure you post in the Graduation Certificate Here sticky on the left.

Don't get too hung up on the 5k part, just consolidate your excellent progress and then start increasing ONE run per week by 10%, it makes no different whether that is time or distance, and that will get you to 5k safely with reduced risk of injury.

No, obviously dehydrating the night before running rather than hydrating is fine - or it could be as I usually hydrate well as a one off I can get away with it. I'm sure you'll smash it tomorrow.
