Graduate day!

A lovely sunny spring bank holiday morning and I just completed run 3 of week 9! I have now graduated Couch to 5k! What an achievement! Not only that, I logged my fastest time for 5k, 28 mins 56 seconds. I'm absolutely exhausted but chuffed to bits! I started on 23rd Feb so it's been a bit more than 9 weeks but I did it. Good luck to everyone else working through the program.

Now to join local Park Run!

Congratulations on completing C25K with week 9 run 3, well done, you are among the 10% of people who have ran W9R3 in less than 30 minutes. 😊

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message on the May graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓. 😊
