Really tough today. Only managed 4.6km in 30 mins with knee tightening up. However, still delighted I’m running for 30 mins and, soreness aside, enjoying it!

To be honest, that's a decent distance for 30 mins! If you have a sore knee, then maybe slow down a bit. It's quite early in the consolidation runs, so perhaps aim to run them comfortably without hurting yourself for a while longer before you get to 5k. Took me about 3 -4 weeks post graduation to get to 5k, and I've never run one in 30 minutes! It might happen someday, who knows!

Hi, have been running 5k’s in 30 mins 2 or 3 times now. Was running to my normal beat today but just felt a tightness in my knee after c3.5km so did slow my pace down. I did a long cycle over the weekend and think I may have caused some straining then.
