🍏I am delighted to hear that you have graduated after all the hard work you have put in, especially over this cold, wet windy winter!! Think back to that first decision to run C25K and the difficulties and challenges you have overcome.

Spring is upon us bringing with it brand new running opportunities so let’s get your shiny new Graduate Badge firmly pinned before you start your new running journey! Congratulations 🙌 🥳 🏃‍♀️🏃

🍏Please 'REPLY' to this post, below, to receive your graduate badge

Please note that your badge will be seen next to your name on your posts and comments within Couch to 5K community only, but not on your profile page or other boards.

🍏We really hope you will continue posting here in the Couch to 5K community, sharing your experiences, encouraging new runners and updating us with your progress as you carry on running beyond the programme. Our support doesn’t stop when you finish the programme!

🍏If you would like a Graduation Certificate, there’s one for you to download here;

🍏Why not try this twelve week consolidation and strength training plan to help reduce the possibility of injury - and super charge your running!

🍏Well done! We are proud of you & your achievements. Enjoy celebrating & visit us again soon!

You are now on your next starting line!

Run the dream!

I graduated on Wednesday! I was so sceptical, especially in the early weeks, but here I am jogging/running for 30 minutes solidly! Thanks to everyone in the C25k team and community ⚡️

I’m sure I had a graduate badge but it doesn’t seem to be there anymore!

I wonder if you were looking for it while you were posting on the Bridge to 10k board? It only appears on Couch to 5k. It’s such an easy mistake to make! I’ve done it loads myself.

Can I have a graduation badge please? I don't have the phone apps, but have followed the same principle as the C25K programme. I've completed two official 5K races now. 😀

Hi. All finished Couch To 5K. 9 weeks have flown by and I've definitely lost weight and I'm definitely fitter. I celebrated with a veggie pizza and a bottle of water. (Didn't want to get carried away.)

Finished my wk9 run 3. Now to improve a little. I’ll have a look at the strength link and try to build up from 30 mins of running to a 5k distance 😜

Annieapple profile image
AnnieappleAdministratorGraduate

Excellent!! There’s no rush either. Lots of fun runs on the free Nike Run Club App. You can choose guided or non guided runs of different times and lengths. Good to mix up your runs every week eg two shorter runs & one longer one of 30 mins Don’t increase beyond 30 mins for a while and then do it gradually! Let us know how you get on! NRC have training plans too… one to get you to 5K … Enjoy your new running journey!!

Next step will be Parkrun. Nervous for this.

AnnieappleAdministratorGraduate in reply to Outdoorlover1

Wow 🤩 It’s such a wonderful achievement! You have every reason to feel proud after all that hard work!! Please don’t be nervous about Park run. Start off slowly and enjoy it. You can choose to walk some of it if you want to. Well it’s time to step up to the podium now and let me pin your shiny graduate badge! Well done!! 🎈
