April 2018 Graduation Badge

Hello everybody and welcome to April 2018!

Hope all is good, and happy running!

Please leave your user name here for me, so we can organise your well deserved Graduation badge.

Now that you have graduated please check out how to move on after C25K. Here is a great link by lannodaTruffe...

healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Please feel free to download and save the Graduation certificate that has been kindly designed by RunaroundSue

We will try not to leave you waiting too long, as we know how great it feels, when the badge arrives.

We would like to clarify the position of earning your Graduation badge.

To get your badge you will have completed the full training podcasts and be able to run for 30 min.

It does NOT matter if you cannot run 5km, you are a graduate after running 30 min for three times.

So it is fair to everybody, please do not ask for your badge until you have completed Week 9 run 3

Many Congratulations and a huge Well Done

Rfc & Ju-ju, Oldfloss, Bluebirdrunner and Millsie-J

Hi there. We give out the badges from the One You couch to 5 k program. This is a structured program and because of that we don’t give out badges until at least nine weeks has been done which ever program you use. I am sorry we are quite strict about this issue as the body needs 9 weeks to build up to avoid injury, also it is to avoid people “boasting” about graduating earlier than others as that brings an element to the site we try to avoid, even though I know that is not what is happening here. It is an honour system so we will give your badge to you whenever you request it but as you have asked our advice and told us your circumstances I hope you understand that in this instance we would have to say you are not ready.
