Finished the Couch to 5k two weeks ago now into consolidation runs, mixed with cross trainer in the gym.
How do people think 5k running compares to 5k on the Cross trainer, same or better running?

Welcome to the forum and many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.
A cross trainer does not provide the impact of running........which actually causes damage but also triggers adaptation and strengthening as the damage repairs on your rest days. In most other respects a cross trainer will work your muscles and develop your cardio vascular system in a similar way.
