Hi there

Congratulations on your graduation. Please leave your username here for me or OlsBean so we can organise your well deserved graduation badge. we will try not to leave you waiting too long as we know how great they feel when they arrive.

I would like to clarify the position of earning your graduation badge. To get your badge you will of completed the full training podcasts and be able to run for 30 min. It does NOT matter if you can not run 5km, you are a graduate after running 30 min for three times.

So it is fair to everybody please do not ask for your badge until you have completed week 9 run 3.

Realfoodieclub and OlsBean

Congratulations and well done. If I remember right I was able to download the c25k+ podcasts onto iTunes then transfer them to my android phone from my laptop. I'm not good at that sort of thing so it took me a few goes if you get stuck put a post up on the forum loads of our members are tech savvy and will to help.
