I didnโ€™t manage to run 5k I made 4.33km in 32 minutes. I donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s good or not but Iโ€™m so happy to have made it through the program. I will definitely need Laura in my ear for my next few runs!

Next goal is to reach 5 k. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Yay!!! Congratulations ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿ… ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Such a great achievement.

Stick at 30 minutes for a few weeks to consolidate everything youโ€™ve achieved and then you can start building towards the 5k. Thatโ€™s a great future goal to have. Enjoy what youโ€™ve achieved now-youโ€™re a graduate! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“

Congratulations! Most people don't do 5km but all graduates have done 30 minutes three times. That's the only requirement.

Take it from me that's brilliant, it's about time not distance but I guess we're pre-disposed to always want to get somewhere faster. Until we realise maybe that's not always the point....... and there are so many variables to impact on pace. After 5 months of running I have increased pace without that as an objective, it comes with time I guess ๐Ÿ˜

Sounds very similar to my experience, so after I graduated I consolidated for about a month, running 3 runs of 30 mins each week. Then I took the plunge of my first parkrun, which I ran/walk in about 36 minutes. After a few weeks though I was able to run all the way, such a great feeling too. 31 parkruns now and counting so good luck.
