Congratulations, runners!!!

The badge is a virtual one, so I am afraid you can only have it if you participate in this community - it shows up next to your name when you post or comment here. If you and your sister would like actual badges, there is one available to purchase from this website: c25kgraduatebadge.co.uk/

Fly26 profile image
Fly26Graduate

I graduated last week! I'm so impressed with the C25K programme. Is there another recommended app that can help me consolidate now?

roseabi profile image
roseabi in reply to Fly26

Congratulations, runner!!

Consolidation simply requires that you keep running regularly for 30 minutes for 2 or 3 weeks, until you feel confident of your new ability. Many people (I did!) use W9 of the app to help them keep going, until they realise they are perfectly fine without it 😊We do not have another specific app to recommend, but many people find the guided runs on the Nike Run Club app useful, for example. I suggest you search for and try a few of these to see which ones you prefer.

Also, we have our monthly Consolidation Club post, which has ideas and chat about what to do to consolidate your runs - check out July's post from Ju-Ju: healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Have fun! xx

I graduated today....very happy and never believed I’d be able to run this far. Strava failed on the first 2 runs this week so wasn’t really sure of progress but today she told me I had reached 5k just seconds before Michael told me i had completed 30 mins. So pleased and can’t believe that I did it!

Morecouchthan5k profile image
Morecouchthan5kGraduate

I graduated a couple of weeks ago and have now increased to 32mins for my last 3 runs - managed 4.59k last night and feel really chuffed! I'm planning to increase to 34 or 35 mins for my next three runs - edging ever closer to the golden 5k!

I'm 54 and have rarely exercised before, and am amazed to be able to run for this long. It's a brilliant programme and I'm encouraging everyone I know to do it. If I can do it, anyone can! I've lost a stone so far (another 1.5 stone to go) - partly due to the exercise and partly by replacing tea with 2 sugars with ginger green tea for all but the early morning cuppa - and recording calories (with 1500 limit/day).

Thanks so much for making this programme freely available. I feel like it has turned my health around.

Gosh. It's been a long time since I last posted here but I graduated about 3 years ago and for some reason didn't feel it was 'real' and so didn't announce it, then got busy with a new job and less running as a result.

Judith17Graduate

I graduated this morning and feel great about it. I have followed the programme religiously, trusting Michael, listening to the Spotify Couch25K selection - well not the rude ones!

Before I started I had been trying to loose weight by walking 10.00+ steps a day. Then 5 weeks of Leslie Sansome's walk at home 30 and 45 min workouts. Didn't loose a gram! I decided I needed to change tactics and it worked. No pain at all, presumably because of my pre run weeks of training. Not that I realised it was going to be that!

I am doing the Japanese slow jogging too. So today the whole thing was 4.5km, including the 5 min warm up walks.

I have lost 2.3kg!!!

I am 74!!!

So thank you all for the tips I have picked up from here.

I also feel a bit of a fraud in some ways though as I’ve not actually hit 5K as yet.

Still if Sarah Millican says I’ve done "alreet" who am I to disagree....I just need to keep plodding on until I can get that bit faster and able to cover more ground in the allotted half hour

Thank you! I've more than surprised myself with how far I've come. Just goes to show there was life in the old dog ;) I'll be looking to take this on even further and if/when park runs are allowed again, I hope to take part and get that so far elusive 5K under my belt :)

Congratulations, runner!!!

You actually already have your badge - looks as though you did the programme a couple of years ago?

If you cannot see the badge next to your name on your comment here, perhaps you are using the Health Unlocked app? If so, you will need to log in via your web browser in order to see your badge, I'm afraid!

So I completed week 9 run 3 this morning. I’m really proud that I can now run for 30 mins non-stop, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a little disappointed that I’m not yet managing to run 5k. The furthest I’ve run is 3.38km - so for me I think it should be called Couch to 30 mins.

This is the badge request post, so I took your comment as your request 😊

The badge is the word 'Graduate' that appears next to your name when you post or comment in this forum. Sadly it doesn't work in the Health Unlocked app, so if you are using that you will need to abandon it and log in via a web browser in order to see your badge!
