9 weeks ago I couldn't run up the stairs. Tonight I've just graduated with not just running for 30 mins but kept going for the full 5k...and I feel amazing! This programme is brilliant, and is the first thing I have ever completed from start to end. So proud of myself. If anyone is having any doubts let me take them away... Go for it, you really can do this!

Congratulations and well done. I think this programme is amazing and has surprised a lot of us. Before this programme I couldn’t even run a bath without getting out of puff! Enjoy your moment and your shiny new badge 👏🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🏆🥇👏🏻
