Morning! Just completed, can't quite believe it! Am beaming 😁 The sun even shone for me 🌄

Fantastic branders1974 ...beaming as bright as the sun!! Congratulations, you’ll need your sunglasses to look at your badge it’s that shiny...well done you!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Oh ace! Thank you!! 😁

Cripes, Moriarty, I've done it! As a shuffling newbie a mere matter of weeks ago to running 30 mins continuously is something I did wonder about completing, but here I am freshly run, freshly bathed and ready to face the next stage... after some consolidation runs!

Fantastic newbie-nick ..those first few runs are daunting aren’t they...but they’re a distant memory now as you move onto the next stage of your running journey & we’re all cheering you on...congratulations Imc50 is waiting for you with this months consolidation club 👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoy showing your shiny badge off 😁

Thanks. I one of so many that have either completed C25K, or have started it and not finished for whatever reason, or one of the millions who have started running since lockdown. I am now a fully-fledged member of the band of runners.My legs are happy, my body seems slimmer if not lighter and I have an ever brighter disposition - and for a displaced Scot that is saying something!!

I salute each and every runner and send my most sincere thanks to all those involved in bringing C25K to us, a grateful public.

Is that a Goon Show reference? You silly, twisted boy, you! 🤣

Errr, Eccles! I wish I could afford a piece of paper with the time written on it.

It's all in the mind, you know.

We could move on to, 'He's not the Messiah; he's a very naughty boy'. Appropriate for this time of year.

Do I have to stand in a cardboard box and sing Jerusalem?

Only if you really, really want to. In the meantime, I am off to scale the twin peaks of the Killamanjaro.I must away and do some work...

Hi, please may I request a graduation badge. I completed my final run this morning. Thank you.

Badge securely in place QuadroVEINia ...congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I completed the graduation run today. While completing C25K was always my aim. I must admit it seemed an almost impossible target when I was doing the 60 sec runs all those weeks ago.

Hi, I graduated today. Is this the place to request my virtual badge?

Graduation Photo

Yesssss!!!! Badge pinned securely in place 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’d like a badge please 😁

Completed week 9 today, can I request my graduation badge please. A great feeling and this site has been such a support. I am 37 and have never ran in my life so am delighted, On week 9 run 2 I ran 4.9km and was hoping to make 5k today but I was actually slower today, just didn't have it in my legs and took off too fast at the beginning. I've downloaded the 5k to 10k app and it looks very manageable to will see how I go.

Hey CanIrun21 ...you’ve graduated no matter how far or fast?!! Running for 30 minutes is really the aim of the game at this stage and then, if you want to you can work on distance and time etc....I’m sure , of you want to, you will do 5k in 30 mins but if you don’t then who cares???? It’s something you can work towards after you’ve consolidated your runs...enjoy your new found ability with no pressure for now Imc50 is waiting for you with his consolidation club...Well done you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi I’ve completed today could I get a badge please ? 👍🏻

Fantastic...well done you..badge fastened on tightly 👏🏻👏🏻

Yes please to a badge !

The badge awarding department informs me that we have a duplicate badge request in contravention of rule 17b, subsection 9. Our investigation team will do their best to establish the veracity of these dubious looking claims and there should be an action taken within a 72 hour timescale.

😂😂 sorry. ! Thank you

Went out this morning in the sunshine for my first consolidation run and it was much better - I went at my fastest ever pace in the middle, and now feel great and am looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much for the encouragement - it really does make a difference 😀

You are more than welcome Redpenguins ...I’m glad you had a better run today..& what a difference the sunshine makes?!! I was out earlier on and I could feel the sun on my skin, it felt lovely and gave me a little spring in my step! Don’t worry if you have the odd run that leaves you feeling a bit despondent, we all have them I promise, but the key is to always try and take something positive from it & no matter how it goes, you have always run that little bit further 😉

Hi, completed yesterday, slow and steady with a sprint at the end. Feeling so much stronger since I started the programme. Will take a look at consolidation programmes, think it helps me to have the structure of regular sessions.

Welcome to the forum and many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.
