Did this run today, but at the gym on a treadmill due to the torrential rain and impassible routes. So I am now officially a runner! The 25 mins were no problem but very boring on the treadmill. Only problem is I did 4.1 km, and I don't know if I will get another km in the remaining 5 mins. I might try for just a tad faster on wednesday and see if I can get a few metres closer to the goal.
w6r3 - took it indoors!: Did this run today, but... - Couch to 5K

You're doing great! At my Graduation time I was not near a 30 minute 5K, still not...don't worry if you can't reach the distance in 30 minutes, speed will eventually build as you gain strength. Very well done and YES, you are a runner! Gayle
Brilliant rfawag! Well done. I wouldn't worry about distance either at this stage. We've got a good few weeks left to build on it and really think its enough to be able to worry about time for now seems that you did it no problem though, all the best for week 7 and hope the weather clears up for you.
Marvelous, Louise!! You are getting so very close to earning that wonderful "Graduate" badge!! I have to agree with the others, there is no need to worry about the distance right now, that will give you something to do after W9!! It is a wonderful word, isn't it..."RUNNER!"
Keep Running!!

I'm assuming that's the point of the remaining three weeks - consolidate & build our speed - or why not go straight to 30 mins in week 7, its only 5 more minutes so no worse than week 5 - week 6. But like the earlier weeks I expect we'll find it gradually easier to do these times and therefore be able to push ourselves to go fast enough to do the distance. We shall see!
