I finally completed my long awaited Week 9 Run 3! Graduate badge, please?

It has taken me a total of 16 and a half weeks. But hey, I completed it. And although the final run wasn't my best (I didn't sleep very well last night and had a bloated stomach despite not having breakfast before my run) I did it to the end. It wasn't a long mileage, but now that I know I can run for 30 mins without feeling wheezy, I can now go back to week 2/3 ish and try to speed up a bit on the running intervals.

I have race for life coming up and I look forward to it, although in this heat I am not sure I will be able to run it all!

Thanks to all of you for your support and posts, it has kept me going when I have felt down or had no motivation.

Keep going to those who have yet to complete it and well done to those who have. Together, we are one!

Congratulations!

Keep it up - I did it in 16 weeks too, and finished about one year ago - I went on doing week 9 runs for a couple of weeks, then did - and still do every now and then, the C25k+ podcast runs (you can find it on the NHS site)

You can ask for your badge here:
