💐🌷💐🌼🐤🐤🐤Spring: 5k, 60 minute and 10k Badges…get yours here! 💐🌷💐🌼🐤🐤🐤

[Yesletsgo]

Spring has sprung and, as you're here, so have you The days are getting longer, the weather is (intermittently) getting better and the urge to pull on your trainers and running gear is becoming irresistible. For the next couple of months it shouldn't be too hot or too cold and so this is the perfect time of year to get out there and aim for those goals you've been thinking about over the winter.

So if you’ve hit a milestone this spring take a minute (or 10) to remind yourself how far you've come, physically and metaphorically. Even when the weather is on your side it's a fantastic achievement. If you’ve run 5k, 10k or 60 minutes for the first time, you’re in the right place to claim your new and shiny badge. Massive congratulations to you! 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

If you would like to claim your badge, reply below and tell me all about how you did it! That’s just because I’m nosey and want to hear all about your triumphant run.

Now you’ve hit your latest goal; you might want to think about what’s next. There are some great suggestions on this thread here…

If you’re even a little bit tempted to go beyond 10k, make sure you pop over to the Fun Beyond 10k forum. There really is a lot of fun to be had there! You’ll be made very welcome, It’s common for people who are running 10k to think about entering events and there’s loads of support (and pom poms!) available there too. Here’s the a personal welcome from the lovely admins there….

Hi again Yesletsgo ! Yes please, I’d love my 10K badge, having run it yesterday to complete the Magic Plan. My feet are still aching this morning 😂. Now plan to consolidate a bit by doing the last few weeks of the plan again, then will seek a new challenge!

Congratulations Xmrkn20 , not only have you now got a shiny new virtual Graduate 10 badge but you're the first to do it in the season of Spring 2025!

There's no stopping you 😁🏃‍♀️💨🏅

I wear it with pride 😂😂

Yes please to a 60 minute badge. Did 67 slow minutes last week for my long run, longest so far but 10kms still tantalisingly out of reach. I’ll get there! It felt great.

Here you go! That 10k will feel extra sweet when you get there. Congrats on a brilliant 67 minute run. That’s worthy of celebrating!

67 minutes, that's fantastic! Well deserved badge, enjoy it 😁
