If 5 miles already ran, then still 25 miles to do in 6 days time.

Needed ratio, , miles to days. Any lower ratio will not meet the "30 miles per week" requirement.

If the actual ratio used were R in miles per day, then for the next 6 days. R is an average.

5 + 6x >= 30 miles, where x miles per day is the daily average to run in remaining 6 days.
