Oh my goodness, I have actually gone and done it! From being very unfit, overweight and not confident in myself I am able to run for 30mins and love every second of it. I AM A RUNNER (always wanted to say that! ⭐️)

I have been very lucky to be able to run alongside the beautiful River Tay every week and looking forward to continuing my lunch break runs here. For anyone who is at the start of their C25K journey - keep pushing! You can do it πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations to you from Dundee "NewbieInDundee"on graduating from C25K, well done, lovely photo of you and the Tay Rail Bridge behind you. 😊 πŸƒ πŸŽ“ You look so happy.

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE πŸŽ“ 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 πŸŽ“ πŸƒ 😊

Thank you AlMorr, I’m over the moon! Have a feeling the hard work starts now though? πŸ˜‚

Thank you for the advice re: graduation - need to fish out my gowns from uni to mark the occasion haha!

The word GRADUATE πŸŽ“ is NOW next to your username.

Yes by all means get your graduation gown from university out for the ceremony.

That reminds me of a graduate student from college last year, she graduated from C25K and college around the same time and reported back here that the graduation run meant more to her than her college graduation. 😊

I can’t see the β€˜graduate’ next to my username? Does this take a while to appear? 😊

I am proud of graduating uni and C25K - not sure which one was harder work πŸ˜‚ xx

It may take a while, but I can see it next to your username on My Smartphone.

My old Smartphone isn't showing it, but I bought that in 2011 and has 2GB compared to my new Smartphone which I bought 9 months ago which has 64GB.

Depends on which device you use.
