Hello everybody and welcome to June 2018!
Hope all is good as we enter June and warmer weather...at last...
Please leave your user name here for me, so we can organise your well deserved 10k Graduation badge.
We will try not to leave you waiting too long, as we know how great it feels, when the badge arrives.
Many Congratulations and a huge Well Done
Happy Running everyone!
Oldfloss, Rfc & Ju-ju, Bluebirdrunner & Millsie-J
Ooh, Yes please Oldfloss, been several months since completion but several spells on the IC and the dreaded dayjob interfering but happy to say I'm back now pounding the streets!
Now retired so that's one less thing to interfere with my running!
Retired.... you will have soooooo much to do.. and running can take a HUGE part!
Congratulations and well done!
It's quite amazing really, this place that is.
I'm the stereotypical 'lurker' on the forum as I avidly read but not often do I post, I find the constant posts of motivation, inspiring comments and the plain tips on running, a joy.
People really do care you know.....
I started my own journey on C25K in 2013 and couldn't believe the difference running made to me in both the physical and mental senses. I've just retired from quite a stressful job (responsibility for 200 people) and running gave me the mental release from the stresses the dayjob presented to me each day.
Now I have more time I intend to have a more structured running plan across the weeks ahead and who knows, the inspiration from this site may motivate me to aspire to a half-marathon plan should this ol' fella's bones allow it. I know one thing though, I know I can count on support from you all here.
I admit to cycling more now as well. I know, I am a sinner. But what has inspired me in running from this forum has helped me to achieve some goals on 2 wheels, RideLondon 100miler, London to Paris for Parkinson's Society to name a couple but whatever we do the constant that exists in us all is the desire to be appreciated and supported when times are challenging.
I see that every day on here, it's an amazing place.
All of you that post, lurk or administrate, please keep going, please keep the camaraderie that is so prevalent at whatever stages we are individually on our personal journeys, I know it made a difference to me, I'm sure it makes a difference to you too.
Like I say, people really do care you know.
Well.... that is a useful post...maybe post it again on Bridge and on C25K... I think many would find it helpful.
I am into my first HM plan... as ever, taking it gently but loving it
The support is amazing and we continue to learn and evolve as we move onwards..whether for a cause or simply for our own enjoyment
Thanks OldFloss, have posted it under its' own heading on both, thanks for your support.....
ClareO65 please ☺️
Hi..not sure if you should be on the C25K forum??? Are you meaning to post in in What is your week? You are doing wonderfully wherever you are
Hi. Just hit the 10K this morning. Followed juju on a rogue schedule . Lovely sunny run, reminiscing of the first W1R1 C25K struggle in the darkness of Winter. Feeling a bit proud.
Congratulations and well done
I did it at last! It's taken almost a year since I graduated from C25K, but today I ran my first 10K. I've had a selection of injuries that have slowed me down, but they have made me keener than ever. Love the sense of achievement. Love the 'after a run' feeling. Love this forum with all the wonderful support and inspiration it provides. Not sure what's next for me, but I won't be straying far from here that's for sure. Hopefully I will be able to get off the treadmill soon and build up my outside running again. Happy running everyone.
Oldmo. Have run two 10k’s now. Thought the first one was a fluke. Can’t say I enjoy it at the moment but I am sure it will get easier the more you do 🤞Still this time last year I was struggling to run for 10 minutes so well happy.
Hi, I’m a lurker who would love a badge please. I completed C25K almost a year ago and decided by this year I wanted to run 10k outside which I did (very slowly) this morning. Reading about the people like me who never thought it would be possible has really helped get me out of bed and down to the park. So thank you! Next stop Park Run.
I should have asked a good while ago too. Last month I did my first Half Marathon and then I did my second 10k race on Sunday. Thanks
PashleyPeddlar. Yes, please, Oldfloss; I would love to have my 10k badge. I got there in the end!
Congratulations and very well done 😊
Thank you, Floss. Am so proud of my badge; proves there’s life in the old girl yet! And thanks to Ju-Ju- too for her excellent plan
Tiggyec. I’d love my badge, did 10k this morning.
Buzzing - never in my dreams did I imagine I’d ever run 10k!!!!
Thank you. x
Congratulations and very well done
I’ve seemed to loss my graduate10 badge 😢
Abracadabra There you go
Thank you so much 😊
Garym
Can I have my nice badge please, did my second 10km this morning. Many thanks. 😀
Dbbd- just graduated tonight xx
Think you meant to ask for your c25k badge Dbbd? Here is the link...
Congratulations and very well done
Thank you, very proud of myself 😊
Please can I get my 10k badge? Thank you muchly 😊
Hello Oldfloss. Bluebirdrunner, suggested that it was time for me to ask for my badge. So....Yes please. Running has become just a normal habit for me now. Quite amazing!
Hi there. Could you tell me how I go about getting the C25K graduation badge?
I completed 10k for the 1st time ever yesterday! 🏃♀️ I’ve posted a bit about it in another post in the Bridge to 10k forum. I would love to receive my badge. I think I lost the 5 badge when I changed my name.
Hi
I did my first 10k in Saturday morning, almost by accident. Went out to do 5.5k and just kept going. I think I prefer a decent length run with not necessarily much speed to the shorter faster ones. Time to get “ in the zone” on a longer run😊.
Congratulations and very well done
Guesty26 many thanks x
Hi I’ve just been pointed in this direction by bkuebirdrunner. I’ve just done my second 10km so I now know the first one wasn’t a fluke 😄🤣. I would love my 10km graduation badge.
Love the forum and all the awesome support x
Hi Oldfloss. Can I have a 10k badge? I went out on Saturday nice and steady just to see how far I could go. Ended up doing 10.9k in 1hr 34. 😳 🐌🐌🐌
Congratulations and well done
Just a slight warning note... you are still a very new Graduate and although you did take it steady, the running legs are still building... please take care It is all too easy to get a hidden injury....
Do we need to graduate from the 10k plan or do all 10ks count? I did 10.6km last night and 11.6km on 9th June 👍😁
The 11.6 was a bit of a stretch but last nights was steady and cleared the 10k in 59 mins. I am pretty pleased with that result.
Very well done on those runs You did 10K..that is all it takes
There is your badge.. and that is a very fast time for a first 10K.. folk would envy you that ! Me included!
Well that was my second. First was 1.10 I think. I did actually do one prior on a trail run... the nettle run but that was 1.38 and included stopping and walking so didn't count that 🤣
It's an easyish route and was pretty determined although not flat out. And extra rest day really helped 👍😁
Yes please!
And thank you to all of you amazing people who keep me motivated week after week 😊
Congratulations and very well done 😊
Hi Old Floss could I have my 10k graduate badge please?! I did Race for Life 10k in Tatton Park on Sunday 24th. Didn’t ever think I could do this 😀
Thanks Oldfloss 😀
I graduated back in April I think I got my graduation badge for 10k but I don’t see it now x
Yes you did😊...I have put it back on.x
Hiya. Completed my c25k today and feeling very chuffed. Is there a virtual badge offered. Can’t seem to find any info. Be very grateful for your help x
Hello Old Floss! Could I ask how I get my graduate 10 badge? I completed that today. I have attached a photo to my post. Very excited!! ❤️❤️
