That’s it W9R3 done and to top it off it was a 5.2k in 33 mins. I’m so amazed I completed the programme, it has been absolutely amazing and the support from everyone on here and the effort by the admins is humbling.

I started this process to up my step count but I think I’ve come to really love running. It’s a happy place to be and even though the programme isn’t easy if you stick with it you’ll get there!

Really excited for what comes next, 5k’s in lots of new places and consolidation for a while and let’s see what happens then...

Congratulations on completing the program! 😀👏🎉🎉 Don't forget to request your shiny graduate badge and also to check out ideas for what comes next. Have fun consolidating what you have achieved and thinking about where you would like to take your running next. You sound as though you may be hooked already...! 😀👍

Thanks Delly-dot, certainly got my steps today!! I’m overjoyed and also tired...

Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Sounds like you’ve been bitten by the run-bug so I don’t think you’ll be finishing your running journey here.

Definitely not, looking forward to consolidating for a while then maybe on to 10k. My wife and I travel all the time in our old motorhome and if I can run for 60 mins/10km’ish then I can explore loads of places here in the UK and across Europe when we travel. Excited!!!

Well done! It’s such an achievement, good luck with the rest of your running. I’m out for my first post graduation run this morning, can’t decide whether to have the C25K app on or just go it alone! 🤔

It really is Sar9, very happy bunny!!! Hope the consolidation is going ok, I’m hoping for my 1st Parkrun this weekend. Never run with anyone else so feeling a little anxious as the Swansea one can have 200+ people!!!
