What now?

[angelo12]

Started couch to 5k in January 2022 to aid in weight loss. A friend suggested the app and I thought I might as well just give it a try. On March 7, 2022, I managed to complete a 5k in 28minutes!😁, after losing about 8kg since starting. Just wanted to share this and ask for a few tips to improving my 5k even further. I'm seeing so much information online and I don't know what to do exactly, especially now that I don't have a training schedule like I did with the Couch to 5k app. I've repeatedly seen stuff about interval training but I'm not sure where to start. Any help will be appreciated,

We recommend that you spend some time consolidating your 5k, becoming totally comfortable with that duration, BEFORE moving to longer duration or working on pace.
