Do I need to use app for every run to graduate?

[Benttoe]

I’m in France on hols and have been running 4 times without the app, just timing myself. It’s been fine as no longer doing intervals. However, does this mean I won’t be able to get my graduate badge when I finish? I know it doesn’t really matter in grand scheme, but I hadn’t thought of this scenario til I read on another post about app not working for someone which meant they couldn’t get their badge. I suppose I could just let the last 4 runs on the app play away to no one if I have to? I’m currently at end of week 7 in real life, but haven’t used app since run 2 of week 6.

You don't need the app to graduate, as long as you remember the runs, week 7,3/25 minute runs, week 8,3/28 minute runs and week 9, 3/30 minute runs, once you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated you have completed the program,

Great! Thank you...again!

I’m loving the 25 min runs I’ve been doing here in Brittany....a lovely view of the sea. However, I haven’t particularly enjoyed running on tarmac, but not been confident enough to run alone on tracks somewhere unfamiliar.

As long as you run every run each week you are fine...

Remember that some of us here graduated from the same programme before the app existed. The badge on the forum is completely independent of both, so no worries - for everyone, if you know you've completed the runs and you let the administrators know, they will do the badge.

Daft really that I feel the need for a badge, but pleased to hear no problems!
