On my final week, ran today for 30 minutes 4.24 km, so not quite 5km but feeling good. Slow jogging for sure. My only trouble now is sore toes on my left side. Quick google search I think I have metatarsalgia. So I guess sadly stop running for a while and make a visit to the podiatrist. Trying to find that sweet spot in exercising where I can improve my health and wellness but not injure myself and cause wear and tear on my body ahh....

Are you wearing proper running shoes fitted after a gait analysis?
Do you have a thumb's with between you toes and the front of your shoes?

I don't think that's slow !!😁

Very good. Now allow yourself to take it more gently. 4.24km in 30 minutes isn't slow.
There's no requirement at all to do 5km on your final run.

If your heart is set on the 5k badge I would in the first instance not look to increase your speed but just extend your time. Speed you can then work at as comes naturally over time
Not what you're looking for?
