Hello Millsie-J , UpTheStanley graduated 2 weeks ago. Can he have a shiny badge please?

Sorted! Congratulations UpTheStanley .

Come on You Brewers!!!!!! 😉

Thank you both - I've been looking for a round tuit, but couldn't find one anywhere

Edit - ooh, there's the badge too!!

Good Morning, please can I have my graduation badge? I’ve followed Ju-ju’s 10k plan but had to accelerate slightly to graduate before I go on holiday this weekend. I did my 10k on Sunday and haven’t stopped smiling yet 😄I’ve seriously caught the running bug, I’m even taking my trainers and kit on holiday with me. Will still do 3 runs per week while I’m there although maybe not 10k, I don’t want to venture too far away from the beach 🏄‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations and well done 😎

I fee a bit naughty posting on here already as I was only supposed to do 9K last night, but got a bit carried away and did the full 10K. Can I ask now or should I wait till I've done it next week when I was supposed to?

Once graduated on C25k, you are in full control of what you run and when, so ask away 👍🏼 10 k is brilliant, congratulations and well done.

Ooh thanks! Looks official now 🎉🎉🎉

Went out on Sunday aiming for 9k but it was such a nice day for running and everything came together and I continued to complete my first 10k

Yeahhhhhhh! Congratulations and well done 👍🏼

Thank you and thanks for the badge😀👍

Hi Millsie-J, Warpfactor4 here and I completed my graduation run this morning. Please could I stand on your podium and get my lovely badge?

Absolutely! We saved you a place, come on up! Congratulations and well done!

Hi! Ran the 10k in training last night, and aside for some tired aches I'm feeling good today! The thought of little grey box helped to keep me going towards the end👨‍🎓 🤗

Here it is Runner Equi! Congratulations and well done!

Wooohoooo! Thank you!!! So pleased to have joined this forum and ju-ju-'s Magic 10 programme has been brilliant!

Push over a little Equi. So happy to be here beside you here.

Finally!! Got through that 10K barrier and kept my HR under 124 pretty much all the way. Apart from those pesky hills.

Congratulations and well done

Sallenson! We did it! Congrats to you

And you hon!!

Hello.

One very happy runner here. Graduated this morning! Love a rainy run, so pleased that I had this weather to make it even better!

Many thanks to everyone in here. This is the proudest I have ever been of myself (outside my family life). This buzz will be with me all day.

What an achievement!

Brilliant, well done. Congratulations 👍🏼

Hello graduate twin

Hello! I'm still smiling. 😁

Hope there's room for me here. I did my first 10km in a race today on a sunny, cold Saturday morning. I feel so fantastic if a bit tired. So where to next I wonder ??

Congratulations and well done! We always have room for new graduates! 🏅

Thanks millsie. I can’t wait to have the badge after my name 🙏🏿

Please can I join you on the 10k podium and have s badge? I ran my first 10k on Thursday! Yay! Very happy!

Congratulations and well done! Welcome to the podium runner!

Thank you! 😀

Hello. I ran my first 10k this morning so a graduation badge would be lovely. Thanks, Shakywakey

Congratulations and well done

Hi , I ran 10K this morning, rather than the planned 9k - could I have my badge please even though I'm early? Thank you

Did 10k this morning. Thought I could probably do it for a few weeks now, but still good to prove it. Thanks to all the helpers and supporters of this site.

Congratulations and well done

Marymumto2 just ran 10k today! Thank you.

Congratulations and well done

I would like a 10k badge please. I did it back in April (28th) and wanted to consolidate a bit before I was confident enough to ask (

10.07 km

1:08:35

Time)

. I'm still not that confident but with the dark nights coming I suspect I'll be doing shorter distances for a while.

Congratulations and well done

10k complete! Would love a badge please. 😁

Congratulations and well done

Massive thanks to Ju-Ju for the B210k plan and all you lovely people here . I got to week 6 run 3 with fuel in the tank so went for the 10K.

So please may I have a shiny new 10k Graduation badge, pretty please?

I promise to keep it in a safe place and polish it three times a week.

Congratulations! A great run!

Oh yes, these badges look so great when polished regularly 😉

Thanks for the badge - I'll treasure it always.

Big thanks to the whole of the admin team, without whom this fantastic forum just wouldn't work.

Cheers

I did 10k today. Could I have my badge please? Thank you!

Terrific run, congratulations!

So today my OH graduated the Magic 10! We did the C25K together, but when I raised the Magic 10 he would have none of it - 5K was far enough. The aim was to run 3 times a week to get fit and strengthen our legs for snowsports, we weren't supposed to catch the bug!

I put it out of my mind at the time, but when he got sick and couldn't accompany me for a few weeks I snuck onto the plan and tried to entice him to follow suit once again. Again, he said no. I would run with him and he would leave at the mid-point and I would run on. We embraced the 5K together and he come around to the Parkrun idea. We've attended our local a few times and did a tourist one recently where we even met up with a friend from the forum.

He eventually came around to the idea that there was no harm in running a little longer (rather than further) and we creeped up to 6K, then 7K. Then he'd ask how far we were going when we went out and I'd next an extra K in when I thought I'd get away with it. I then printed a copy of Ju-Ju's plan for the fridge and marked his progress on it - I think he was secretly pleased to see the weeks being marked off as he stopped fighting it and I quickly signed him up for the 10K Movember virtual run 😁

I realised he was worried about managing it and we picked up the pace a little, a practice run in advance would be a good idea I felt.

That brings us to today - today he completed his first 10K EVER! A sprinter in his youth, distance was unheard of.

I'm so very proud of his achievement and thought I'd post here on his behalf since he doesn't follow the forum himself, but takes a keen interest over my shoulder 😊

Whoop whoop whoop! What a great achievement. Lovely to run together too Sutsha!

I cant give the badge as he doesnt have a profile but try these 🏅🏆🍾🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

Those are perfect! Thanks Millsie-J - It's wonderful to have someone to run with, I know how lucky I am 😁

Well coached Sutsha, nice to have a running buddy 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏👏

Did it tonight! Just back from a long run with the running club I recently joined and we ran 10k. I was the slowest but didn't stop, so very pleased with myself!

Congratulations and well done 😀

Hi Millsie, I completed JuJu's magic 10 a week ago and have run >10k 3 times now so don't think it was just a fluke run, could I have my shiny new badge please?

Great achievement, well done and congratulations.

Thank you Millsie 😁

I did it, 🎶 I did it 🎶 tra-la-la-la-la 🎵

Please may I have a 10k graduation badge!

Yippee!

Yeayyyyyy! Well done! Congratulations graduate 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻

Oh Thankyou! I think it suits me!

Hello Millsie, I’ve only gone and done it. 10k today. Whoopie. I would love to see a shiny badge, especially now it’s easier for you to do. Thank you for your support.

Brilliant Dexy, congratulations and well done 👍🏼

Thank you Millsie, what a lovely shiny badge that is too. Now I feel like one of the gang.

Oh wow Dexy! I’m so, so pleased for you after the tough time you have had. Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yes I was heard to shout “Take that Billy Trail, you’re not going to stop me!”

Thank you so much for your support TailChaser VRB extraordinaire. Now I’ll be following your journey. Skip the tripping bit though - not recommended.

I bet you did 😂

Thanks Dexy, hopefully not long now. First 9k this afternoon all being well...and no slipping or tripping if I can help it (funnily enough I’m writing risk assessments this morning so maybe I’ll do a bunch for C25K & B10K 😂).

All the best for what you do next, that’s a mightily impressive badge you have there 👍🙌

I’ll look out for your posts TC (that could stand for Top Cat but don’t tell Katnap I said that)

😂

Hello everyone! I completed my first ever 10k this morning after following Ju-Ju’s magic 10 plan. Looking forward to levelling off for a couple of weeks now before starting towards the half marathon, hopefully by March next year. Not going to win any races any time soon (1:12 was my time this morning) but the sense of accomplishment is great!

Loving the forum, keep up the good work everyone.

Congratulations and well done
