Graduation run completed 😀👨‍🎓🏃‍♂️💪

[Dave58]

That's it then. Wk9.3 done. So I suppose I've graduated. Did the local parkrun which I've done 5 times before. To make sure I ran for 30 mins I did a 5 min warm up run just before parkrun start. Then continued with the run. Still waiting for the official parkrun time but my stopwatch time was 25mins 35 secs. So ran for 30 mins and covered 5.8k. It was cold and quite windy so quite pleased with the time. I'm going to continue to do Parkrun every week and run with the Wife who is on week 3 next week. I would like to thank everyone on this forum who has encouraged me and offered advice. The programme really does work. Now to get the title GRADUATE next to my user name.

Well done. I graduated yesterday feeling really pleased with myself. Got myself a running partner too. We will be going before work twice a week. Got myself an office job so need to keep moving now. Let’s keep it up 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done to you too. Have you got a parkrun local to you cos I reccommend giving it a go if you haven't already. It's fantastic free and friendly. Hope you enjoy many years of running

The nearest park run is about 12 miles away. We are going to do one probably in the spring. We live in Buxton and get a lot of snow so going to wait till then but keep running when we can. It’s given snow most days next week ☃️

Congratulations! 👏🏃‍♂️🎊🥳

I was thinking of you this morningwilling you on! I hope you are chuffed to bits with your progress. Well done

[Dave58 Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Oh thanks. It was a tough one in the cold and wind and I wasn't feeling 100%. Tight calf muscle now so ice pack on. Really pleased to have graduated now though. Couple of days rest now I think. All the best with your future running

Just got my official time for parkrun 25mins 49secs. So chuffed with that

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Dave58]

Wow that’s impressive!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Dave58]

Excellent time for a graduation run, congratulations, that time of 25min 49sec is only achieved by less than 10% graduating from C25K in less than 30 minutes which is a dream for many of us who have graduated in over 30 minutes, once again well done.
