Graduation Grit correction!

Yes I completed the course last week, but no... I have not got to 5k yet, having just actually measured the course. Feel a bit silly saying I did . But hey, something to aim for.! Watch this space!

Who cares - you graduated and can run for 30 minutes! I aspire to do the same. xx 😀👏👏

Something like 90% of graduates on this forum do not run 5k in 30 minutes at graduation.......many never do.......but they are fitter and happier, so what is there to worry about.

Congratulations.

To be fair I read your graduation post as you having graduated Couch to 5K, not you having run exactly 5K... Largely because few do manage to do both at once! :D So absolutely no need to feel silly. Even if you HAD banged on and on about having run a whole 5K, still wouldn't matter, it's being able to run for the 30 minutes that counts. :)

You're right though, it's something to aim for and you've got a nice clear goal now. So lots of luck and we look forward to hearing all about your full 5K run, whenever that may be! :)
