Consolidation run 7

Easier this morning than my last run in the heat but still hard. I am managing 5k but gone are the days when I was getting to 30 mins and saying โ€œI could have done moreโ€ ๐Ÿ™„. No more - now I am struggling but Iโ€™m getting there somehow.

I still live in hope that this gets easier the more I do it ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒป

It will get easier the more you do, honestly. Every run adds stamina and strength to your running body and one day youโ€™ll be on a run and suddenly think, โ€œoh that feels easier! What just happened?โ€ And what โ€œjustโ€ happened is all those runs and miles beforehand paid a dividend at last.

Youโ€™re doing brilliantly, keep it up ๐Ÿ™‚

Have you tried the Nike run app? They are very chatty and take your mind off the running!! Also are you on strava? If so do join us lockdown grads- we are all in this together ๐Ÿ˜€ strava.com/clubs/lockdownc2...

Yes I have listened to one but I found Coach Bennett talked a bit too much and irritated me ๐Ÿ™„ I like a bit of encouragement and handholding but not constant ๐Ÿค—

And I am in the Strava lockdown group and I am enjoying using Strava and some of their challenges ๐Ÿ‘
