Just completed week 8, so only 3 more runs to go before I complete the programme.

I've done the programme before, 7 years ago now, but can't for the life of me remember what I did afterwards!

I don't have any desire to increase the length of time I'm running - 30 minutes is more than enough! But how many times a week did you go/are you going running?

I'm exactly in your situation, i finished this week. I'd also done it previously 7 years ago and back then i went on to train for a half marathon, which i completed 6 months later.

This time i don't have the time or inclination to do anything more than 5km in a go, so I'm going to follow what I've been doing, with 3 runs a week. I have a nice route set, i have downloaded the Runkeeper app, so my only goal is to improve my speed over that route. My wife says i should get back into 10km runs like i used to do, i may look at this in the future to have a goal to work towards.

I continued to run 3 times a week, and did 5k each time. I also signed up to 5k races, and whilst this is harder during lockdown, I have participated in a few virtual ones (will include the link below, you run and then upload screenshots of your time, and they send you a medal in the post). They are good for motivation and keep you having something to work towards.
