That's it, I've done it. I can't believe, I've managed to complete this programme! Although I'm very slow and not up to the 5k yet I'm just so chuffed with myself that I can run 30mins without stopping! Who would have thought this overweight 61 year old could achieve this. I feel so much better,stronger, healthier and have lost 18lb. Must keep it up now and aim for that 5k!

Well done SD61. Don’t worry about the 5k. Only 10% of grads do that. 5k is the next target for most people. Enjoy you graduation celebrations 🎉😃🍾🥂👏👏🎓

Congratulations.You're a runner, believe it! The next stage will come.I took several weeks more to get to 5k ( once I'd actually measured it) and felt hungry for more after that.See you on the Bridge to 10k by the end of the year!
