Nearly there!

Week 8 finished. Not gonna lie, it was tough towards the end, and those gremlins in my ear kept telling me to slow down to walking for just a few steps, but ignored them and kept on running. Hoping I've got enough reserves to complete the full 5k next week 🙏 😫

Well done.

Only a small proportion of graduates from this forum who responded to a poll, managed 5k in 30 minutes by graduation healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

Graduation requirements are that you complete three thirty minute runs, regardless of distance.

Thanks, I'm not sure about "smashing" it, but I'll certainly give it a stern talking to!🤣

Well done on completing W8, almost at the finishing line...well Graduation anyway...and then on to the next part of your journey. And you beat them damn gremlins... way to go. WoW....you're gonna get to the actual 5k next week....what an achievement. Good luck, enjoy your victory. 👍👏👏🙋

According to my app synced with my smart watch, I'm doing 4.38km in 35 mins, but I'm clocking the warmup/down walks too, is that correct?

[Buddhagal Graduate in reply to ShufflingShepherdess]

Hi, not sure to be honest?? Crikey though that's an excellent pace if you're including warm up/cool down walks!! I'd be ecstatic if I could go at that pace, nowhere near that😁👏👏. Way to go. Enjoy W9. 👍👍🙋
