Graduate?

Is it classed as graduating once you have done week 9 run 3 and have jogged for 30 minutes but you have not done 5k? I start week 9 tomorrow and I am nowhere near 5k.

Well done for getting this far. So only 3 more runs and yes you'll graduate. I hadnt done 5k when I finished week 9. But you will do. All the best for next week then x

Yes you graduate after 3 - 30 min runs no matter what your distance is. So your close now well done.

It's close now. You can almost touch it! You'll look great in your new Graduate Badge.

Enjoy your final 3 runs! S'exciting times. 5k! Never mind that, you can get to grips with that later. For now you need to focus on Graduation. Let us know how you get on. We'll be there at the finish line giving you a virtual round of applause (think about that when Laura tells you you've done it)

I graduated a year ago but I don't think I'll ever run 5k in 30 minutes - takes me around 35 still after a year - but then at my age I'm running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your graduation next week when you've done the three runs in week 9. Best wishes.

Good luck for your graduation next week.

Mine is end of next week (I did do 5km last week, but it was more than 30 minutes, so I just counted it as my w8r1 run). Only 4 more to go for me.

Not what you're looking for?
