You're very welcome Caroline, do have a read of the what next post near the top of this page...and keep posting on the forum for motivation too if it helps!

Happy running Graduate 😊 x

Hi, I graduated last Tuesday, now I’ve started to train for a 10K run! I will also try the podcasts. Shame there isn’t another app for those who graduated and want to train for 10K. I loved Sarah Millican telling me how great I was doing 😂 my username is Clem_ (Joanna)

Great work! Congratulations 😊

There is a plan on the Bridge to 10k site for getting to 10k devised by Ju ju. It works and is fun...do some consolidation runs first then take a look...😊x

Finished C25Kon Friday! Chuffed to bits

Now what do I do?

Great work! Congratulations 😊

Now you can run for 30 mins John!

Some consolidation runs and read this guide what to do next written by our Mentor lannodaTruffe...

healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Keep running 😊x because you Can⭐

As a matter of interest, how do I collect my badge?

Hi John, your virtual badge 'Graduate' is now pinned next to your name and is there when you write a post or reply to someone's post. You need to be logged onto the nhs healthunlocked c25k website, rather than the app for this to show up...

You can buy an actual c25k Graduate badge for £6 I believe, follow this link...

c25kgraduatebadge.co.uk/

Great work! Congratulations 😊

Hi Bluebirdrunner.... I'm going to do 5K run for second time. Will I be getting badge too after completion or for the one I already completed long back. Since this is going to be second time, I will be completing it much earlier than 9 weeks.

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.

Thanks Realfoodieclub for reply. And I agree with you about preparing body in 9 weeks for running for full 30 mins.

Since I'm in US and OneYou couch to 5k is not allowed to be downloaded here.... Is there a way I can start this program and qualify for badge.

Hi there, can you access this link. It has all the weeks written down.

nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

yes I can access that and I will follow that but there is nothing I can record in app.

You don’t need to record, the podcast that many on the forum use does not record each run. Just do each run and move on.

Good luck

Do any of the links from this work in the US

nhs.uk/oneyou/apps#mBasqygz...

Yes Link works but when I can click on app it takes me to goggle play store where a message appears that link is not available in my country. It's ok realfoodieclub.

As per Millsie-J's message not all of us are using app. I'm starting to go ahead with information available on site and send you message when I'm done with running 30 mins.

This is going to be second time so I might go earlier than 9 weeks. This badge and other medals that I get at running events... all this motivates me and keeps me going with long walks and runs.

Morning. I graduated last night 🙌

Hi, Bricktinter here (Andy Gardiner). I graduated this morning Fri 13th! Can I get my graduation badge, please?

Great work! Congratulations 😊

Perhaps this is a silly question, but how does your graduation badge arrive? Is it real or virtual?!!

You ask for your virtual badge here claire once you have completed the program, the word Graduate then appears beside your name on all your posts and replies.😊

There are actual C25K graduate badges available to buy...they are £6 I believe and available here....

healthunlocked.com/couchto5.......

Did you Graduate today Claire?

No, 6 days ago, I posted on here and you responded, but I haven't seen Graduate against my name.

Hi Claire, your badge is there, if you are using the app it might not show up. If you log onto the nhs healthunlocked c25k website you will see it next to your name shining brightly...

Happy running😊 x

Congratulations 🎉🎊🎓

Ok, thank you, I can now see Graduate next to my name!

Thank you I would love a badge username is novice 61

This won't show on the app, log on to the nhs healthunlocked c25k website and you will see it.😊x

Smug git face for the rest of the day I feel!!!
