WE DID IT ✅ WE ARE GRADUATES!!

We completed WK9R3 today by running in a colour 5K where between us we raised over £300 for charity.

I cannot believe we’ve made it this far, I never for one moment thought it was possible and I’m so incredibly over the moon.

For anyone just starting, please keep it up. My mum and I could barely run for 60 seconds at the start and we are now running 5K’s. The programme is incredible and hands down the best thing I’ve ever done!

I can’t wait for the next event now!!

In the pinned posts section, there is a post called July 2019 graduates (or something similar). If you write in there that you have completed and ask our wonderful admins to polish your badge, you will receive the word Graduate next to your name

That's a brilliant photo! Congratulations to both of you! What a fantastic way to graduate, looks like loads of fun. 🎈🎆🎇

That’s amazing

Are you hitting the 5k in the 30 minutes?

Dani1201 profile image
Dani1201Graduate in reply toShubo

No we’re not which I was initially quite sad about but now I’m ok with it. Now I’ve graduated I’m going to work on my pace :)

If that's something that concerns you Shubo, just to let you know that only about 10/15 percent have reached 5K by the time they graduate. It's not a bad thing as it gives you your next goal to aim for 😁

Dani1201 profile image
Dani1201Graduate in reply toRun46

That’s what I’ve recently found out so I don’t feel so worried about it now. Exactly, that’s my next aim - to try and get it down to 30 mins. I think once I’ve done that I’m going to start training for a 10K

Lol, it's a bit addictive isn't it Dani, enjoy it 😁

Shubo profile image
ShuboGraduate in reply toRun46

It isn’t something that concerns me that much

Couch 2 5k is the first stepping goal to my ultimate goal

It does bother me that the name is slightly misleading but before I started I would never have been able to run 1/2 k without almost killing myself so running for 28 minutes nonstop is my badge of honour

And one you've certainly earned, well done, you're nearly there 👍
