I can’t believe I have done it! About 12 years since I last did it. Did my first Parkrun today. I was so scared. Everyone was so positive, I must have had 20 people wishing me good luck as I went round. I was just so glad to finish. Can I please request a graduation badge? 🎉

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toIsabellamc1 year ago

Absolutely brilliant news and I’ve sorted your badge now. Massive congratulations on that parkrun-another milestone! This is just the beginning-you’ve got so many wonderful miles ahead. Time to celebrate now! 🎉👩‍🎓🏅🏃‍♀️❤️

We’ve got a weekly parkrun thread over on Bridge to 10k…you might like to say hi and get lots of cheers from other park runners too! Here’s this week’s:

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toRJN121 year ago

Congratulations!! Slow and steady really is the best way. You deserve some mega celebrations! I’ve assigned your Graduate’s badge just now. Enjoy what comes next-you’ve got so many milestones ahead! 🎉🏅👩‍🎓❤️🏃‍♀️

My boyfriend and I finished the C25K runs and now trying to keep to 3 x 30 minute runs a week (weather permitting). After an unfortunate accident I restarted once my ankle had recovered and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am sure I am fitter now than I have ever been in my life. After every run we have been taking the dogs straight out for their walk and that is an hour at least at quite a brisk pace which I am sure helps too. They get longer walks on our non running days and even longer at weekends. They have shorter and a more sedate walk in the evenings.

It is still hard to believe I can run for 30 minutes, its something I just would not have thought possible a year ago.

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toLizzie_NewStart11 months ago

Fantastic to see you here! I wish I could award multiple badges to your run crew as well 🏅🏅

Wishing you many happy miles with your dogs too. Wear that badge with pride! 👩‍🎓🏅🏃‍♀️❤️💪🎉

Wavey16Graduate11 months ago

I think I have a graduation badge from the first time. Truth is that covid hit and I developed type 1 diabetes and stopped running.

Did a park run today for my week 9 run 3 and graduated again.

Now for consolidating and starting bridge to 10k.,

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toWavey1611 months ago

Congratulations! I can’t give you a second graduate badge but I can give you a massive cheer! Really well done. 🏅🏅👩‍🎓👩‍🎓🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️❤️❤️🎉🎉

Wishing you loads of luck on your next steps!

Wavey16Graduate• in reply toMissUnderstanding11 months ago

Yeah I know. Thank you for the cheer, much appreciated.

completed it 🙌 thanks for all the advice on here, very helpful! Please can I have a graduation badge 🥇

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toFluff_11 months ago

I am happy to award you an early Christmas present! Badge in place. Celebrations most definitely deserved. Massive congratulations 🏃‍♀️🎉👩‍🎓🏅🎄🏃‍♀️

Fluff_Graduate11 months ago

thank you very much 😊

I’m not sure where to go from here. Are there any apps you can suggest that include a trainer? Something to work towards to keep up motivation?

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toFluff_11 months ago

Absolutely! We’ve got a weekly post that runs for graduates dedicated exactly to this with some hints and tips and the opportunity to chat!

healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I also felt a bit lost when I finished. It’s really common. You might like the Nike Run Club app-that’s free and has loads of guided runs. It’s cheesy at times but I love it.

Bucks_RunnerGraduate11 months ago

Completed week 9, run 3 and graduated this morning. 30 mins running got me to 4.5k, so continued on to full 5k.

MissUnderstandingAdministratorOn a breakGraduate• in reply toBucks_Runner11 months ago
