Just a thought! What defines graduating?

[ch3lsea007]

I plan to do my week 9 run 3 at a local parkrun! If I do it in 29 mins and 59 seconds does that mean that I do not graduate because I haven't run for 30 mins! Just a thought! 🤔

[Tasha99 Graduate]

He he he. If you do it that fast, who cares?!

[Helm108 Graduate]

Depends what your goal is! And either of those are very worthy goals!

I think anyone who can run 5k in sub-30 minutes is not likely to have any trouble running for a full 30 minutes...

[sallenson Graduate]

You're absolutely correct.

If you don't complete the entire 30 minute final run (given that you will done 2 identical runs in the same week) and have triple-countersigned evidence, your home will be stormed by the SAS and you will be forced to start the whole programme again. Running only at night, with a hessian bag tied over your head, wearing Wellington Boots, while subsisting on a diet of only Gregg's pasties.

Clear enough?

Spoken like a true Graduate!! Have a hug!! xx

Wish I’d had that dilemma! Go you! 😃

[Ripcurlrana71]

Yep! You have to start it all over again if your runs are not exactly 30mins.....👀 Oh and you need to show video evidence of every run you’ve done too....🤭

I shall do a Forrest Gump through finish line! 😂😂😂

[ch3lsea007]

I've never done a Park run so could get over excited and blow up! Could be a country mile out!! 🤣🤣🤣

Once you run through the funnel and get your barcode you can run back off and get to 30 minutes. Doesn’t matter when you get scanned.
