Most excellent Graeme! Hello and welcome! 👋

That’s awesome you’re on week 8 now, not long to go now till you’re done!

I’ve just completed week 8 this morning and I find this forum is amazing for keeping me motivated, so much support, kind words and encouragement…it has the best people! 🤗

Welcome!

And remember that 5km is not the target of the programme (even though it's in the name) and less than half of those who complete Couch To 5K actually do that distance.

Running for 30 minutes is the only target, regardless of what distance you do.

Best of luck, either way.

(PS. I just squeaked a 5km in my graduation run, but also gave myself a double sprain on one ankle, and had to restart from scratch a month later after physio treatment. Three years later, I can reliably do 5km in 27 minutes, with a PB of 25½ mins.)
