[TJMazz]

I’ve only gone and done it! I’ve achieved something I thought was impossible. I’m a graduate 👨‍🎓 To all those out there just starting the C25k programme I recommend you go out there and grab it with both hands. It’s yours for the taking.

I’ve gone from thinking I couldn’t run for more than a minute to running for 30minutes. Ok I’ve not hit the 5k barrier as yet but hopefully it will come with practice.

I’m so proud that I’ve achieved what I set out to do in September. The key was self belief, positive talks and finally encouragement and inspiration from all the wonderful people in this forum. For that, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❣

My aim now is to continue to run 3 times a week for 30 mins and continue to build my stamina. Then I would like to hit the 5k barrier which will mean running for longer.

I can’t believe how much I have enjoyed the programme and now am telling people how much I love to run. Who would have thought it?

Good luck to all of you who are completing the programme. You can do it.

Gosh I am so excited 🎉🎈🙌🏻💕👍🙋🏻😀

So nice that other people can encourage and help others along the way. Can’t wait to get out and run again now. Bit worried about missing Mr Smooth 😀

[Kazzybe Graduate]

That's brilliant and you echo my thoughts entirely. I'm not a graduate am in week 5 but can't believe how far I've come. You are a real runner now, huge congrats xx

Keep running, keep smiling.

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you. I was smiling all the way through my run today. It felt so good and I’m so pleased to have completed the programme. Now to become fitter and consolidate what I have learnt so far. Thanks for the support 👍

[Anthie Graduate]

Well done!! It feels so great to be able to run 30 mns without struggling. And what a follow-up programme you've got! You'll reach the 5K without doubt.

I’m determined to keep on running. I might even try running with other people one day 😂 Good luck with the rest of the programme 🙌🏻

[Hidden in reply to TJMazz]

Thank you. I'm actually about to head out for a short run now.

[ejvcruns Graduate]

Well done! I'm excited for you! Don't forget that if you find you need the structure of a plan there are loads of "plans" available for beginning 5k runners, as well as the c25k+ podcasts and such. Have fun with your running post grad! Proud of you too!

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to ejvcruns]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I think I need to do some research on those plans

[Fatflabtofitfab Graduate]

Well done. People like you make newbies really feel that it is possible

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Fatflabtofitfab]

If I can do it, so can you. I’m still running 3 times a week since my graduation and loving it. It’s an excellent programme which makes it possible to run for 30 mins non stop and even further if you want to. Good luck with the rest of the programme 🙋🏼

[Rogie55 Graduate]

Well done, it’s fab. Hit the park runs soon if you can, it gives you a focus and will help you to keep going.

Again congratulations. I hope people are now saying how well you look.
