This morning I did 10k a month after graduating c25k. Canโ€™t quite believe it but as a friend said yesterday, once the switch is flicked, you become a runner. ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

Woohoo Purplerex, you certainly are a runner. Can you remember how impossible 10k seemed a few short weeks ago? Well it just keeps getting better and better, so keep running and keep enjoying. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸŽ‰

And donโ€™t forget to claim your new badge. Youโ€™ve deserved it. ๐Ÿ…

Sounds like you've definitely got the running bug.

However almost 3 years since completing C25K and multiple 10ks I'm yet to complete a fast or pretty run - so let us know if you find the secret ๐Ÿ˜‚
