I've only gone and graduated!

[Simonc25k]

I've done it!!

I was determined to have a great run, and that is exactly what I did, completed 5k in 31mins 39 secs, I was keen to get as close to 30 mins as possible, so I'm very happy with that pace.

I'm determined to carry on pushing this, aiming to do a park run at the weekend and I've signed up for a charity 5k night time supernova run in November, I'm also thinking about entering a 10K early next year!

One very happy and contented 'runner'

oh! can I please, please have my badge?

Brilliant run, well done graduate! Very well deserved! Hit the pinned graduation badge post on the right for that shiny, shiny 🏃🏻👍🏼

Well done Great time too

Must be near, I'm doing the Saturday evening Supernova event at the Kelpies- but will be slower than 31 minutes!

I just ran my first 10k event (4th time running the distance) at Cumbernauld (graduated April). It was a brilliant event- easy parking, fairly flat course, loads of supportive marshals, 2 water stations and pacers for sub-60 runners (and ace medal and tech' T-shirt, all for £21) You'll be ready for 10k before then but it's 17th September next year.

Main thing is keep going Happy running

Hi, I was too late for the Saturday at the kelpies so I'm running on the Sunday, I'll keep my eye open for the Cumbernauld 10K next year, see you there!

[jt24 Graduate in reply to Simonc25k]

My Kelpies place was booked in January- before I could run! It was the whole reason I started the c25k app

Yippee, awesome, well done! Your new goals look exciting. Dont forget to take the time to enjoy your achievement. Looking forward to hearing about your parkrun and 10k journey.

[MrsLis Graduate]

Congratulations - well done you!

I'm very envious of your 5k time!

[Simonc25k Graduate in reply to MrsLis]

The secret is to have a good playlist! I did a search on songs with 165 beats per second, if you can run to the rhythm it's so much easier. Good luck, you can do it!

[MrsLis Graduate in reply to Simonc25k]

Thank you, I'll put one together. Do you just use iTunes or similar to play it on or something special?

I was wondering about jog.fm

[Simonc25k Graduate in reply to MrsLis]

I got the list from jog.fm but then created my playlist in Apple Music, definitely worth trying
