I've only gone and done it.

This morning was my graduating run, which I did at Bromley Parkrun. My time.........29.42.

I started C25K in July and like everyone else found the very first run extremely hard going, but I soon got the running bug. I can't quite believe that not only can I run 5K, but can do it in just under 30mins.

Wow, how brilliant, well done you!!

You must be really chuffed! I hope you have a nice bottle chilling in the fridge now?

[Fraz73 Graduate]

That's amazing. Congratulations on such a fantastic achievement. I'm following your lead and am planning on completing my C25K by graduating at my local Parkrun, (it's an unofficial one but they're trying to get Parkrun status) although I will not do it in under 30 minutes!! Anyway enjoy your graduation

[Oldgirl Graduate]

Many congratulations on your graduation and a wonderful fast Parkrun time, under 30 minutes is brilliant.

I'm very pleased with this time, especially as I've got short legs, I'm 5"4, with an inside leg of 27.

Well done on your run, completing the 5k is great, doing it in under 30 mins simply brilliant.

Start wk 8 tomorrow and planning my first Parkun next Saturday. Won't be my graduation run, but if get ok next saturday, the following week will be! Well Done BettyJane on your achievement. I don't think I will be any where near your time though!

[BettyJane Graduate in reply to caro8642]

My first parkrun was at the start of week 8, I've taken a few extra rest days lately due to sore knee. It's good to be doing a different run, plus my parkrun is very level and mostly on grass.

Fantastic!!! Congratulations on graduating and getting under that 30 min 5k.

I'll be at Bromley Park Run next week with the hope of a PB (I might just be able to slip under 34 mins!) as they normally have pacers out in the first saturday of the month.
