I'm so so chuffed with myself, and as others have said although that was my last couch to 5k run I'm hoping it's just the beginning of my running journey.
I can't believe I can run for 30 minutes 😁 a few months ago I was struggling with 3 I'm so pleased.
I can't thank everyone on this forum enough, all your help, support, kind words and words of encouragement have got me through to the end of this programme.
When I was struggling with running alone you all helped me to push myself to continue, when I had an injury I couldn't wait to get back but followed everyone's sensible advice to rest and get gait analysis done. When I didn't think I could do this there was always someone cheering me on and encouraging me, so so lovely!
Thank you thank you thank you!
To everyone who is about to graduate good luck, you've totally got this and I hope to see you in consolidation club.
To those of you who are part way through, you are amazing, keep going the feeling of completing is so worth it!
To those just starting out, wow well done you on making the leap. I'm so proud of you as I know how hard it is to make that first step.
Onto consolidation club for me

Thanks Dee2609 yes I'll be there! I need the motivation and accountability now that the plans complete and I'm let loose on my own 😂 see you over there 😁
Awesome, well done Popstess! There were a couple of bumps in the road, but you did it! 🌟 I hope to see you around in bridge to 10k after your consolidation. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Scrambled_Legs yes don't forget our pact you said you'd do it if I did, I have so you have to now too 😁 I'll be watching for your graduation post and cheering you all the way to the finish line 🎉🎉
Well done. I’m just starting out. W1R1 and I can’t even imagine running for 30 mins. I found the first one pretty hard. So proud of you and I don’t even know you. X
We all felt like that gasping for breath after 90 seconds 🤣 stick to the plan follow the advice and you will be absolutely fine it’s an amazing programme the hardest bit is starting and you have accomplished that already!
Well done, you deserve to feel proud of yourself. Happy consolidating. Also, if you ever want to pop along to the Bridge to 10k forum it’d be nice to see you there.
Thank you Magellan ooooh I'm not so sure about bridge to 10 yet hehe, I have joined it and been reading a few posts but not sure I'm quite brave enough yet, I'll see how I feel after a few weeks of consolidation ☺️
Well done. I've just done W3R2 and after each run its such a great feeling of self accomplishment. You must be feeling on top of the world after 30 minutes. 👍
Thank you Mikey-Lowestoft well done on almost completing week 3, it's such a great feeling hold onto that going forward, it is soooo worth completing the programme 😁
I’ve paused for a moment due to some health issues, hopefully I’ll get the all clear to run again next week. Your success is definitely inspiring me to get to graduation
Congratulations on your graduation, I still remember that feeling so well. I graduated May 2020 and running is now sooo much a part of my life. Never missed a week even if I only manage 1 run per week.Onwards and upwards 🏃♀️👌🏆🏅
Very well done! I don't often post on here now but I graduated in Dec 19 and do remember how great that felt and also how astonished I was that I had done it! Just keep doing what you did and try not to miss too many days. Getting into an achievable routine is so important and there hasn't been a single time I went out and regretted it - even on the harder, cold, wet miserable mornings. You 'll feel so proud of yourself every time.
