Couch to 4K in 30min

Just graduated today on my regular running path which goes up and down hill. Not managed 5K yet - got to 4K - but will be working on this - I’m not sure if I’m going to be running anymore quickly to do this or just running for longer. My speed seems to have stayed constant over the last week or two - I’ve just managed to run for longer.

The 5K will come , but first spend some time consolidating the 30 minute runs before pushing on with distance or pace .

Happy running!

Congratulations- it’s a wonderful feeling. Going forwards you could mix things up a little. A slightly longer run, a shorter faster run or even a gentle run to consolidate what you have achieved so far. Whatever you’re doing - enjoy it!!!!

Snap except I've yet to make 4k in 30 minutes. But it's an ambition. I have made the 5k at the same pace and still feeling comfortable. My watch says it's still cardiovascular and my heart rate stays within the recommended range for my age so I'm happy with that. It is what it is. But keep going, whatever your ambitions.

Not what you're looking for?
