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 β€œI could have done more” πŸ™„. No more - now I am struggling but I’m getting there somehow.

I still live in hope that this gets easier the more I do it πŸ€—πŸŒ»

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

You’re doing brilliantly, keep it up πŸ™‚

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 πŸ˜€ strava.com/clubs/lockdownc2...

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

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