Completed Couch to 5k!!

So pleased and relieved, after a few wobbly moments - redoing and stretching a few weeks, managed to do three 30 minute runs, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Today’s run was not fast, it was a just get through it run. But I’m so pleased.

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.

Congratulations!. I graduated in August and am still way off 5k in 30 minutes... Don't worry about speed. I have plodded on and suddenly realised today that I am going a little faster with no extra effort. Not fast compared with some, but faster than before 😁
