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 🎉🎈🙌🏻💕👍🙋🏻😀

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
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 👍
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.
Really well done 👍🏻 🙌🏻🥂🍾 I’m just one behind you 🤭 like you I can’t believe I thought I couldn’t run but for 30 minutes 😳 keep up the good work and in your own time you’ll be running further than you ever imagined x
Been waiting for this post! Well done you, you've done it!! Your posts have been really motivating to me & I hope they will continue. Enjoy your celebrations on the podium, I will look out for you there in a couple of weeks!
Thank you for your support. Can’t believe I am motivating people to run. Keep going and of course you will soon be graduating too. I’ll keep posting to show how I progress. 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 🙌🏻
Enjoy that grin!! I'm doing ok thanks, feeling quite good tonight. I've been on the IC since I graduated, going to try a gentle short run tomorrow and see how I do, having not run for nearly 2 weeks. I shall report back
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!
Hey TJMazz I'm so so chuffed for you. That's brilliant and in such a short time too, far better than me. Upward and onward now, it's going to get better and better for you, I just know it 🤗🤗👍
Well done, you should be really proud of yourself, that deserves a massive treat. 😉 I just completed week 5 this morning, hoping to graduate before Xmas if all goes well 😬
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 🙋🏼
