I have just completed the C25K program but my first 5k race is not until 6th May. From now until then I would like to continue doing my 3 runs per week but I wondered if anyone had any tips on how to go about increasing speed. At the moment I am anywhere between 7.5 to 8.5km/hr on average. I have done 5km in about 35 mins so far but would like to to my very best on the day of the race.

Any suggestions would be great!

    When I finish the program I am going to start the 5k Time IMprover program that is on my smart phone. I am doing the intervals with the "Run Double" app. This app also has the 5k Time Improver with it. If you have one check it out! The first two weeks are free then it is a $1.60 one time fee.
