At the end of week 8, 5k was near, but I was expecting it to be in over 30 minutes. Great surprise to see it was a little under! Let’s see what happens and when all’s well I will report back at the end of the week.

To add some background: Dutch, 54 in a week, never done any running ;) This program is magic!

Running time 29.08, distance 5.1km, average speed 5’42”, average heart rate 142, average cadence 171

Welcome to the forum ViWe well done for getting started. This is essential reading for those new to the programme or returning after a break and includes hydration, strengthening exercises and stretching after a run, all of which will help.
