JW01 just graduated

Am so chuffed with myself, I can’t believe that I have done this, from someone 9 weeks ago was struggling to even contemplate running to running solidly for 30mins, unbloody beliveable

Completed last run 2nd June

You deserve to be chuffed with yourself JW01, congratulations on completing C25K, well done, onwards and upwards.

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message on the June 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 🎓 🏃 😊

Sorry am being slightly thick

I don’t quite get what you mean

What is a pinned post as have looked at where you said and can’t see what you mean

Better on a laptop than a Smartphone, you are not thick, on the Healthunlocked C25K home page near the top on the right side there are several what we call pinned posts, on one of them you will see the June Graduate post, click that, it will link you to the part you will see many other June graduates and the congratulations they have got from the administrators, just tell the administrators that you have ran run 3 of week 9, they then will post the word GRADUATE next to your username which is graduate.

That is OK, just rest your aching legs Graduate, your username must have been a little confusing before you graduated, anyway, it was a great achievement that you now have graduated,congratulations.

Graduate graduate! Well done!

I used the 10% rule to keep increasing running time until I got to 45 minutes

Then moved onto Bridge to 10k

Congratulations. Great feeling isn’t it! I repeated week 9 a couple of times, then found Laura again on C25K+Stepping Stones. Now pavement pounding (lightly) at 150/160 beats/ minute. Working on a maintenance plan rather than advance to 10K+. What do you want?

Enjoy your running.

JW001Graduate in reply toHatman

At the minute I would like to do a few weeks sticking at 30 mins running then maybe try to speed up and increase distance very gradually

Hatman profile image
HatmanGraduate in reply toJW001

That seems the purpose of the basic stepping stones podcast or app. 30 mins running still with some guidance and encouragement. IMHO. This week I added about 200 metres in the time. Have fun whatever you do.
