Huge congratulations and well done you!

[Wexler22 Graduate]

Hello! I completed my final week 9 run this morning and have just registered with this group. Haven’t covered 5k in my 30 minutes yet but not too far off so am planning to sign up for my local park run to keep on track.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Wexler22]

Well done to you and don't worry about that 5K...it will come! Congratulations!

[BeadEmbroiderer Graduate]

I completed week 9 run 3 this morning another old lady proving to herself that she can run 🤗

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to BeadEmbroiderer]

We rock! Congratulations and well done... sorry for the delay, I am just getting back on track after our sad news x

[BeadEmbroiderer Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

no apology needed, I didn’t even think there was a delay. I was sad when I went to post my success and saw your sad post, I can’t imagine how everyone else is feeling x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to BeadEmbroiderer]

Very sad..but Tim would celebrate you success too ! X

[BhaFan Graduate]

I can’t believe I actually competed W9R3 today! I haven’t run since I was 13 years old, 50 years ago and I lhave loved it. I need to find motivation to carry on now so I’ve treated myself to an Apple Watch.

😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to BhaFan]

Congratulations and well done you!!

[RunHattieRun in reply to BhaFan]

buying an Apple Watch was the best thing I ever did. I got mine around week 4 of C25K and this watch has taught me so much health wise, kept me motivated, and definitely helped me 200%.

[JayneDoe Graduate]

hi all, graduated last week (no graduation badge yet, not sure how to get one) and just completed a week of consolidation runs. Happy plodding on, smug in the fact that I’ve actually finished C25K. Looking at going back to treadmill running when the days are colder and wetter. Any advice out there?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JayneDoe]

Congratulations and well done .

[Perfectpear Graduate]

Thank you- is this the thread to reply to for the graduate badge? Many thanks

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Perfectpear]

It is indeed. Congratulations and well done you!

[BabyBear50 Graduate]

Week 9 finished!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to BabyBear50]

Congratulations and well done... ! Apologies for missing this.. so much Admin' business going on, following the sad news last week of losing one of our Forum Team. x

[Sciencesoo Graduate]

Just Finished!

Only managed 3.41 km in 30 mins!

So I guess I have to keep it a goal to do 5k in 30 😬

But still I’m chuffed to have run continuously for 30 mins.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Sciencesoo]

Huge well done and congratulations!

[eb085 Graduate]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to eb085]

[Bill972 Graduate]

I finished my W9R3 yesterday! I had my doubts at first but as every week went by my confidence grew. Now at young age of 71 I’ve completed C25K and feel great! Only managed about 4km in the 30 min but going to keep working to get the extra km.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Bill972]

Congratulations and well done you!
