Hurray. I've just completed week 9 run 3. I've done it!! Unbelievable. It feels amazing. I never thought I'd be able to run for 30 minutes! Maybe I should buy running shoes, I've been running in a pair of sketchers trainers! How do you do the graduation thing?? 😁

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

I started out in Sketchers, and ran in my new running shoes today for the first time. The difference was amazing! Buy yourself some, after you have gait analysis. You won’t regret it.

Thank you. I will. I've no idea what gait analysis Is! 😂

Woo hoo, congratulations !

You must be well chuffed.

Go ask for your graduation badge : )

[Cantstopmenow Graduate in reply to backintime]

I am 😃 just the discipline of going out 3 times a week was hard enough 🤣

How do you get a graduation bade?

[backintime Graduate in reply to Cantstopmenow]

There's a pinned post on the right hand side (on pc) or down the bottom (on mobile) called June graduates or something similar. Post on there saying you graduated and your badge will show when the magic admins do their thing : )

Will you consolidate and move on ?

[Cantstopmenow Graduate in reply to backintime]

Thanks. Yes, definitely. I'll need a new challenge.

[Mbubbles Graduate]

Massive congratulations! 🥳👏👏Have you thought about what comes next or are you going to bask in the glory of your achievement for a while first?

[Cantstopmenow Graduate in reply to Mbubbles]

I'm going to keep going. I can't get GPS on my preferred route so I'll need to find some new routes, then work on time distance and speed.

Can't believe I'm reaching for the trainers at the end of the day rather than wine and crisps!

[Mbubbles Graduate]

By the way gait analysis is something you can have done at a specialised running shop, where they fin you running and analyse it to help determine what type of running shoes will be best suited to you. It’s not as scary as it sounds, you just feel like a bit of a berk jogging from one end of the shop to the other and back again, or at least I did! 😬

[Mbubbles Graduate]

Sorry, should say ‘film you running’

[Cantstopmenow Graduate in reply to Mbubbles]

They'll be laughing at me!

[Mbubbles Graduate in reply to Cantstopmenow]

I’m sure they won’t, they will want to sell you some shoes! 😉

[Dowat Graduate]
