Just applied for my graduate badge!

So happy that I have completed the plan. Started in June but had to stop a couple of times because of injuries, but finally made it. My running times are definitely more on the plodding side of running (pace, 9 min per km) but I can run 5k!! I just moved on to to 10k version of the plan, which has me back to walk, run but this time over a 1hour period. I find that I definitely like the structure of a plan. Thanks a million to all who post on this site. The support and tips have really helped to keep me going.

Well done you- in the face of adversity you got there! Hurrah! and a plan for going forward too It sounds as though you're not going to allow yourself to be worried about pace, perfect!

Many congratulations to you. Running continuously for 30 minutes is a great achievement. And it sounds like you have plans for your future running!

Well done Tourm! Congratulations. Stick with the running and you'll build up nicely til you're at 10k and beyond

Build up gradually, over time, don't be in a hurry. You have to improve your all-over fitness before you start seeing your running getting quicker. You'll notice how much fitter you'll become, but you need to grow slowly

Have fun!

Well done. I hope this continues to be a positive part of your life from here on. Sounds like a good idea planning for some next goal, but gently does it (as you probably know very, very well by now).
