Hello runners,

We've made a little change to the community so that you can now have a 'Graduate' badge added to your username when you complete the 9 week programme. It's the least we can do to recognise your achievement, and it'll let others know that you've been through it all when you comment on their posts or write your own blog.

To get the badge, either drop me a message or post a comment below and I'll make sure it's added.

Good luck with your next run!

John

C25K is absolutely brilliant and for me did exactly what it says on the tin...got me off the settee to running 5k. Took a little longer than 9 weeks as I repeated some of the runs when they didnt go so well, but I completed a few weeks ago and am now in training for my first 10k in early July, which I wouldnt have believed possible a few months ago.

Looking forward to having a shiny "Graduate" badge next to my handle soon. :)

JetSetWilly profile image
JetSetWillyGraduate

Hi John. Graduated yesterday W9R3. The toughest run yet due to wind and rain blowing in off the river Mersey and the proof that this course really does achieve results. There is no way I could have completed 30 mins non stop without the structured system and just doing what Laura said. The music was a massive motivator and really helped push through the parts of a run that got a bit tough. Please excuse me, because I am quite new to your site but are there plans for a 10k podcast. I hope so because I bet every graduate would love to do a 10k and with Laura guiding us all along everyone would do it. My goal is to get up to 50 mins running 3 times per week if anyone could throw there oar in and give me some guidence I would really appreciate it. Its clear the rest days are important ........sorry very important!!! we all need to R&R (Rest and Recuperate) A days rest between runs is vital.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the NHS for financing this project it is clearly a success (unlike many projects that fail miserabley!!) I just hope they continue to invest in this project and who knows one day we maybe running the Virgin London Marathon with Laura spurring us on to the finish line. For those of you who think its a bit too ambitious let me ask you this did you all REALLY believe you could run for 30 minutes non stop when you started, if you did'nt then whats stopping you running for 3 or 4 hours (Im talking time here not distance) I think the idea of running a certain amount of time is more important than the distance covered hence the fact that I would like to run for 50 minutes rather than run 8-10k.

Hope you can supply a badge (I will wear it with pride!!!) To me its like an Olymipic medal....now were did I put my "Chariots of Fire" DVD!!!!!!!

Ps just going down stairs to watch the Olympic Flame arrive in London how is that for timing!!!!

Hello there! I completed the 9 week programm last week! I would be very pleased and proud to have my Graduate badge :D! Because I'm finally a 5k Runner!

Thank you so much! :) Even though I'm new here... I received a lot of nice and kind words about my graduation.... And I think that the good vibes coming from this community will help me to complete the next step: 5k+ Programme !

Congratulations to all, like me, are finally graduated! We did it! And for those who are near... :) Keep going!

Hi John,

I graduated yesterday and will blog about it tomorrow. Can I have a badge please? Can't believe I've done it - thought I'd be quite content with running for 20 minutes and yesterday I did 43!

This programme is amazing.

hi there been running to c25k since may and longer. run about 4 times per week for generally about 1 hour plus each time. does that mean i have graduated. tried following the programme and did so quite well but where it told me to walk i just kept running. and when it said stop and cool down i just kept running to get the min 60 min run. do i have to follow the course religiously to graduate. thanks for a great forum.
