I did it!

If my Fitbit is correct I actually ran 6km. Cheated slightly in that I was only meant to run for 20 minutes, but I have a hospital checkup on my lungs this week, so I thought I'd carry on if I could.

I guess this makes me a graduate!

Well done. A few caveats though. It takes three thirty minute runs to graduate from NHS C25K. Fitbits are notoriously inaccurate.

If your fitbit is set to your walking stride you won't necessarily have covered the distance it says, as it counts your steps. My running stride is shorter than my walking one so I take more steps to cover the same distance and the fitbit thinks I have gone further.

Well done on your run, but not wishing to rain on your parade, you do need to have done the full programme up to week 9, run 3 before you are a graduate. Keep going and good luck with the rest of the programme and of course with your health. 😉
