Well at the start of year I couldn’t run for 60 seconds I can now run for over 60 minutes and did my first 10K on Christmas Eve. Thank you everyone for your support, whilst I didn’t post I did read people comments especially when I was finding it really hard. I have signed up for my first half marathon next year as a personal challenge and to stay committed. Thank you everyone for keeping me motivated and keeping it real!!

Happy New Year xx

A fantastic year for you Snailspace03, from not running for a more than a minute in January to running a 10K on Christmas Eve is an amazing achievement for you.

To get your graduation10 badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message on the December 🎄 🎅 graduate10 healthunlocked homepage and tell the administrators that you have ran a 10K.

I am not speedy either - might try and do a 10K first just to know what to expect with other people around! Doing the Birmingham half in October so time to train and improve technique- need to lengthen my stride I think to improve time! Just amazed that I have actually found something I have stuck to 3 times a week for a year and enjoy! Good luck with your training - we have got this!
