Congratulations MoliJ on your 60 minutes and 10K. Usually people aim for 60 minutes first and then continue to get to 10K. You have achieved both on the same run which is fantastic, but I can only give out one badge. So I'll give you the 10K Badge. Huge congratulations again and very well done.

Well done. I did the same when I first did 10K. I went out to run 8K, felt great and carried on. I was slow but steady and did 10K in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Took me a while to get that down to under an hour. Congratulations again. 10K is a great milestone.

I'm another one that set out to do 8k but just kept going to crack that 10k barrier. Just under 90 minutes so quite slow towards the end. The 10k badge will out shine the 60 min one.

I started running just one year ago and never thought I'd be doing this at 69.

Hi Damienair πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

Please may I have both a 60 minute and a 10K badge? πŸ™πŸ» I managed to achieve both today with a sub 60 min 10K and then pushing on for a bit more to go over the one hour mark πŸ€—

damienair profile image
damienairAdministratorβ€’ in reply toPhoenixRise

Fantastic. Very well done, that is really good. A sub 30 minute 10K as your first 10K is very impressive. We can only hand out a 10K or a 60 minute badge. Most people on the plan run 60 minutes first and then push on for their 10K. You have done it the other way around. So I'll award you with a Graduate10 badge. Congratulations.

Hello damienair. I completed my 10k this morning and ran for over 60 mins. Can you get both badges for 1 run?

damienair profile image
damienairAdministratorβ€’ in reply toHapptogiveitago

Excellent and very well done. We can only give 1 badge, 10K or 60 Minutes. People usually attempt 60 minutes first and then move on to 10K. You have done both which is fantastic, I'll give you the 10K Badge.

Please could I claim my 10k badge? I did my first 10k last week and my second one today.

I live in North Wales and have worked out a run from my house that avoids busy country roads with no pavements. However it does involve a ford and 620 ft of elevation gain. All OK if you ignore the time, (it took me 87 minutes) and invest in some trail shoes! I am on week 6 of the magic plan but challenging route finding meant I arrived a little early my first ever 10k!

Hello!

I was super excited to have run my first 10K yesterday; 10.47 to be precise in 1:29:45.

But, my Garmin Forerunner has deemed it Unproductive so I'm a little deflated. Please can I have my badge as compensation?

So, thankful to this forum for helping to keep my sanity through Covid-19. I was alone in Berlin not really believing I could run 5k now I believe I'm a runner and have even been able to visit with my family in the UK and run over hills!!

damienair profile image
damienairAdministratorβ€’ in reply toAerynSun

First of all turn off all the smart settings on your watch. It's a bloody watch for goodness sake. It should not be allowed to have opinions. You were not unproductive. You ran 10K. That's very productive. I have a Garmin Forerunner 35. I have mine completely dumbed down. It can only tell me average pace, distance and time. Just like it should.

Congratulations and very well done on your 10K. It is a fantastic achievement. Remember your watch is just a watch. And a smart phone is just a phone. Don't pay any attention to them. I'd like to see your watch run 10K without being strapped to your wrist. :-)

Thanks for the badge and sage advice. I've done a bit of computer modelling in my time so I do know 'Garbage in, garbage out' and as a 6ft2 52 year female I've never fallen into the statistical norms so it's ridiculous to look to my watch for encouragement!

damienair profile image
damienairAdministratorβ€’ in reply toAerynSun

One of the best things I have done so far in running has been to carry out a lobotomy on my watch. :-)

ground_level profile image
ground_levelGraduate10β€’ in reply todamienair

Thank you, and thanks for the speedy turnaround.

Was surprised how quickly I ended up here after graduating on 2nd September, almost by accident. Can only put it down to upping to ~40 minute runs by default after graduation and then pushing on a little more on weekend runs where there's more time to play.

I did all the C25K runs first thing in the morning. Since graduation, I've kept consolidation runs to 40mins as the 'default' morning run, occasionally with a bit extra on top if time allows. The third run has generally been a bit more freeform.

Interestingly, the first 60min run happened on my first ever evening run when the pressure to get back home and start working was removed.

More fun to be had experimenting with run start times, durations and distances. :)

Thanks again.

Congratulations on your 2 x 10K runs. That is very good, your pace is steady and your 5K and 10K pace is the same. You will do it no problem. Last year I was running a 33 to 34 minute 5K and my 10K was around 1 hr 20 mins. I did interval training for 5K and over 8 months managed to get down to under 26 minutes for 5K and under 58 minutes for 10K. Gradual improvements. Happy running. Your doing great.

I tend not to openly discuss my performances but I have achieved plus 60min runs this month. The first on 7th at 1h:5'7, the second on the 14th at 1h:2'.22. The distances were 8.54km and 8.07km. So, there's still work to do to get the distance up to 10km.

But I'm not fussed about speed, just endurance and stamina. The 13th this month was the second anniversary of my major surgery and I remind myself that I could not have envisaged two years ago that I would be capable of these achievements. So, for me, health has certainly been unlocked!

It's difficult to believe it, but this morning I ran for 60 minutes - so I would love a badge to help me celebrate, please! I am still one of the world's slowest runners, as I didn't quite complete 7k in that time - so I haven't gained any speed since completing C25K - but I am not letting that worry me! I still need to finish week 8 though.

Now I just need to decide whether to go back the the beginning of the Magic Plan to work towards 10k, or whether to start at week 3 as I have achieved 7k. I might split the difference - start at week 1 so I get the full number of weeks, but do 7k once a week as the long run of the three.

Just enough weeks left to get my 10k badge as my Christmas present to myself - so something to work towards!

damienair profile image
damienairAdministratorβ€’ in reply toWhydothis

Congratulations to you. That is fantastic. You could add 500 meters each week onto your long run. That would get you to 10K in 6 weeks. It seems easier just adding on 500 meters. That's what I did. Next time you do your long run do 7.5K, the following week do 8K. Bit by bit you will get to 10K. Enjoy the celebrations, shiny new badge for you.

Hi Damienair, could i claim my 60 mins and 10k badge? Did the 60mins a couple of weeks ago and my second 10k today (as part of the Vitality 10000). Was aiming to do the run with my twin sister but she has her right lung collapse today so no running for her for a while. Takes the shine off my day but I'll be running for the 2 of us now! Thanks to everyone for the support and cheery messages. It WAS a magic plan that gets a complete non-runner to this stage in 6 months. Its even convinced my husband to start C25K and that is truly miraculous.

Could I have my 10km badge please 😁 so exciting. If I did it in 1hr 4 mins does that mean I get the 60min badge too πŸ€”

Great pace for your first 10K. Very well done and huge congratulations. We can only give one badge I’m afraid. People usually claim a 60 minute badge as a milestone on their way to 10K. Then they get a 10K badge. You have done brilliant running so a nice new Graduate 10 badge for you.

Thank you for my Graduate 10. Honestly very chuffed to have got through it. Looks like I have picked up a knee injury though 😬 rest and anti inflammatories I think!!

Hi Damien

Happy Halloween Saturday!πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ

I ran the Virtual Vitality London 10,000 this morning and my first ever 10k. I was pretty happy with my time of 1h 26min and quite emotional at the end as this run has special personal significance.

I can't believe how far I've come on this running journey since April. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support of all you wonderful people on this and the c25k forums.

Please can I have my badge?

Thank you!
