Running 5k and being slightly out of breath is more than most people can do. I used to always want to beat my pb when I first did the parkrun. Now I just turn up and run and the time is irrelevant.
Saying that I'm 2 minutes down on my best so might start some speed work
I'm using the Couch to 5k app, it's an NHS/BBC thing I think. I downloaded it from the play store.What are the best apps/guides that people have used?

Is it Ok to post my c25k updates on here....just didn't want to hijack your thread.

Good going that. I would do as you suggest....rest a day then go again.
Done my final week 1 run tonight, and definately getting easier. Started deep breathing during the initial 5 minute walk and was nowhere near as out of breath on the runs.
I've done 8 x 1 minute runs, 3 times this week, so 24 minutes in total.
24 minutes running over 6 days and I feel like an athlete!! Can't believe I've let myself get so unfit.
Enjoying it though, more than I thought I would.
There's no going back for me now, determined to do this, and looking to lose a couple of stone as well.
Turns out the walking 10 miles a day has actually worked
Just wondered how far I could run, and did the 5k in 33 mins, canny buzzing, never ran that far since I as like 14
Could go faster but it was red hot and I was on a stupid route, kept changing corners
Leave it a day then go again you reckon?
Best to do a little recovery run the day after then rest fully the day after that.
Apologies I thought you meant running not walking. I walked all during lockdown and have kept it up since, bloody love it. Either with music or a podcast or just total silence, mint way of clearing your head.I was planning on like a 10-15 mile long walk, that no good?
Might do as you say, I really enjoyed it mind and really felt the endorphins.
Now I know I can run 5km, which I have never been able to do, really is motivation to get better.
I was knackered at end but felt I could have done a little more.
