I started week one back in early feb and finally graduating last month! I can now run 5k in under 30 mins with not too much effort. Today, I completed my first 10k run in under 1 hour!!! I'm incredibly happy I started C25K as I don' t think I would be as fit as I am today :)

Congratulations on completing your first 10K run in under a hour, to get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username go to the B210K forum and tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K 🎓 😊

That is a great achievement but please keep following gently progressive training plans to avoid doing too much too soon.

Take care.
