Running 7:00 per kilometre is a gentle, sustainable jog — for many newer runners the real challenge is not the pace but covering the full 5K without stopping to walk. You should be able to speak in short sentences throughout. For anyone building up from a couch-to-5K programme, 35 minutes is the natural first time goal.
