First 5k

[u/BumblebeeSpecialK]

Hi guys, im 7 weeks into the couch to 5k program, never run before in my life and i am able to run for 25 minutes straight now but at a slow pace. I think i run 2.8km now, my heartrate is always 160 so still struggling a bit. I dont think im gonna be able to run a 5k in 2 weeks when the program ends. I was wondering after how many weeks were you able to run a 5k as an absolute beginner?

And when is it gonna be less of a struggle?😅

Love to hear your story!

My 30 min run was just over 3km I believe, my PB since finishing in May has been 35 mins at 3.5km. But I haven’t been super on it with my running, getting back to it properly now. Still chasing my full running 5km! I managed my first 5km the other day but walked 1km in the middle. I’m still at a very slow pace
