Graduated!

[claire173]

Can’t believe I’m writing this but I did a Parkrun today as my 3rd run of week 9!

Anyway - I was quite slow compared to everyone else I think, but I did it in 38 mins and, although it was hard going, I’m so pleased I did it!

Go for it everyone! 👍🏻

Well done on your park run and congratulations

Thank you.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations on graduating from C25K, well done, 38 minutes is not too slow, someone else ran that time as well, so did I on Friday, a sub 40 minute 5K is acceptable for a newcomer to the 5K distance. 😊 🏃 🎓 Onwards and upwards.

[claire173 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Absolutely. I’m going to keep trying now to increase my pace rather than my distance.

[Madge50 Graduate]

Fantastic, well done you! Welcome to the parkrun family! (Your new addiction 😎). That’s a great time, all parkrun wants is to create a regular habit with you. Hope you keep going back 🏃‍♀️👏👍

I plan to Madge. Loved the atmosphere. (Felt a bit lost initially but only cos I didn’t know what to do or where to go) - looking forward to getting to some other ones too. 👍🏻

Huge, huge congrats! I’m looking at your splits wistfully... a long climb ahead of me before I get where you are now. Well done!

[claire173 Graduate in reply to DrBunny]

Thank you! You will get there. I guess everyone has very different goals. Mine is definitely to improve on speed rather than distance at the moment. Keep going - it’s so worthwhile!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

[damienair Graduate]

Congratulations and very well done to you for your great achievement. Doing your graduation run at a Parkrun is a great idea. What a perfect way to finish C25K.

[claire173 Graduate in reply to damienair]

That was my thought! I’d timed it perfectly so I had my W9R2 done midweek - definitely created some more pressure to get round the 5k too!

[Redcat19 Graduate]

I have yet to do a park run but if I can complete in 38 minutes I will be happy, not slow at all! Congratulations on completing C25K 🎉🎉🎉

[claire173 Graduate in reply to Redcat19]

Thanks so much. And I feel fab today! 👍🏻😊

[ElleRee Graduate]

Thank you 😊

[Blackcat66 Graduate]

What a brilliant way to finish! Well done! I'm due to finish next week but am not going to be at 5k. Congratulations!

[claire173 Graduate in reply to Blackcat66]

I honestly didn’t think I could. In the 30 mins, I’ve only been doing 4.2k. Give it a go though - Parkrun makes it easier as you get cheered on along the way!

[smeeagain Graduate]

Thank you.

[Mrs_James_to_be]

That is amazing! Well done. I'm about to embrace W4R3... tomorrow xxx

[claire173 Graduate in reply to Mrs_James_to_be]

Go for it! Just remember, your legs can do it, your lungs can do it, the only thing that pushes against you is your mind - get past the bit where you think it’s bad & it gets better! 👍🏻

Wishing you lots of luck. 😊

[Mrs_James_to_be in reply to claire173]

That's so lovely. Thank you. xxx

[1slowcoach Graduate]

Well done. That is fast for a first park run. I'm still struggling to do that time and I've done 48 parkruns

[claire173 Graduate in reply to 1slowcoach]

Ah thanks. I kept looking behind me as I was convinced I was last! 🙈

[1slowcoach Graduate in reply to claire173]

That's the best thing about park run. ...you'll never be last unless you volunteer to be the tail walker

[SalukiX]

That’s a good time....but the most important thing is that you did it....great stuff 👍👍👍👍

[claire173 Graduate in reply to SalukiX]

Great result, my first Parkrun was about 46 minutes. Well done.

[claire173 Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thank you. I managed to speed up a little yesterday and did it in just under 37 mins.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate]

That's great 👍
