C25K graduation?

[dozzer19]

Is graduation when I've achieved 30mins at the end of week 9 or when I reach 5k? While I'm determined to reach 5k, it is going to take more than 9 weeks. I want that badge so badly!

You'll be pleased to know that Graduation is when you have completed the third run of week 9. If you've done that then you've finished and can claim your virtual badge

I somehow doubt I will ever run 5K in 30 minutes but having graduated I am now regularly running 5K in my own time. Running solidly for 30 minutes is the stepping stone for whatever you want it to be...

I made a point of doing both on the very last run..... 5k took me over 36 minutes, but I was determined to do it!

Anyhow, I reckon 9 weeks of the programme is more than enough to call yourself a graduate. Well done!

Definitely a graduate when you've completed all 9 weeks. The distance will come later.
