[Mummycav]

White rabbits….

Good morning fellow runners …I know why you’re here…it’s a brand new month and you’ve been doing something wonderful!!!

How have we got to June so quickly?!! There are some beautiful colours out there for us to enjoy which makes our running even more enjoyable !

It’s officially summer and we’re just lacking a bit of sun…but…if you’re like me, the weather at the moment is perfect for a good old run…and some of you have managed to FINISH THE PROGRAMME!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏👏

Woo hooooooo!! You have DONE it…you have reached that seemingly impossible goal!

How did it feel? How do YOU feel?!!!

I have some extra shiny badges to hand out here…so if you have got to the end of the programme and run 5k or for 30 minutes there’s one here just for you!! All that hard work you have put in over the last few weeks has brought you here and you should be SO PROUD of yourself…we are extremely proud of you and your achievement…so…leave a comment below & I will award you your shiny 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 experience, encouraging new runners and updating us with your progress as you carry on running beyond the programme. The support doesn’t stop when you finish the programme!

⭐️If you would like a Graduation Certificate, there’s one for you to download right here.

⭐️ Why not try this twelve week consolidation and strength training plan to help reduce the possibility of injury - and which you can super charge your running.

That's just the little extra bit of motivation needed, my graduation run is on Tuesday.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to penfold96]

Woo hoo!! I’ll be looking 👀 out for you 😉

[penfold96 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Can I have my badge please 😊

Determined to enjoy it, despite the 1km of uphill straight out the door and the 8% gradient for 200m at the ¾ point I felt I could have kept going especially how close I was to 5K. But mindful of the wisdom shared here not to push too much, too fast I stuck to the program and came in at 4.6k after 30.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to penfold96]

I think, maybe, with one or two glitches on the forums for some folk, that Mummycav might not know you are here... so I shall award your well deserved badge!

HUGE Congratulations to you!

The best bit of course.. this is only the beginning... the running world is opening up before you!

[penfold96 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks. I stretched my first consolidation run to 33 mins and managed 5.04k, the 0.4k being really important 🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to penfold96]

It is... well done you... just take it gently and relax as you enjoy the new running legs ! x

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

[Groundie99 Graduate]

Can I have my shiny badge pretty please, Completed my c25K this morning, slightly grumpy that i did 5k in 30 minutes and 4 seconds, but vey proud that i did 5k in any time, so thanks for your support so far, and onwards and upwards.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Groundie99]

congratulations Groundie99 ..that’s fantastic news…hope it wasn’t too warm for you? That shiny badge will be shining even brighter today…wear it with pride

[Groundie99 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

No thankfully it wasn't too hot, bit miffed that my time was 30 minutes and 4 seconds for the 5k , but as all you wise experts say it is not about the timings, its about getting out there and doing it, and i have done it. !!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Groundie99]

That’s a truly fantastic time 💪
