Consolidation Run 25 🏃‍♂️

B210K - W3R2

5K 🎯

Happy happy run 🏃‍♂️😊🤗

Continuing on with being kinder to myself and just running free with my own choice of favourite music 🎶 I set off this morning with no goals or expectations in mind besides wanting to achieve a no pressure sub 30 mins 5K if possible.

Again, I started off a little too fast and struggled a little bit to find a rhythm at the beginning. Settled in around the 2K mark when a fly decided to try and attack my eye 👁 luckily - I saw it coming and blinked, catching it in my lashes! A few steps trying to remove the little B without stopping shows my dedication to the plan! 💪

The splits highlight my pace dropping due to the 1 mile long gradual incline around my route. But this way round is much better than the direction I ran for the whole of C25K. If only I had worked this out earlier! 🤦‍♂️

7 achievements, 2 PB’s and a couple of new Strava 🏆 with a 5K at 28:25 ✅

Knowing my next run will be my longest attempt (7K) I pushed on for an extra 0.5K just to check I had some more fuel in the tank and to make sure my activity properly registered for a Strava race 😉

Hopefully 🤞🏻 I could potentially achieve the 7K on Sunday around the 40 minutes mark 🙏🏻

Happy running all 🏃‍♂️

Great run and fantastic pace 😁

I'm sure you will achieve your goals on the 7k. I did mine this morning and it took me 65 minutes

Fantastic 5k time! You must be pretty stoked with that. I am managing to chip off a few seconds each time but 35 mins is still quite a way off for me (current pb is 36.44)... but I'll get there!

I completed W3 R3 today.... went slow and steady and found it ok! I wont be winning any races any time soon.... but really pleased to be on track! 10K here we come!

Pesky flies! Glad you stopped the little critter before getting a proper eye full!

Have a great evening.... and enjoy your 7K tomorrow 🏃‍♂️👍🏻🙂

Thanks Sara_Wales 🙏🏻 Yes, I was pretty stoked! 35 minutes is not that far off for you at all! It’s within reach and you’ll definitely get there! 👍

Congratulations 🥳 for completing W3R3 today 💪 I’m beginning to feel a bit anxious about doing 7K tomorrow but I’ve been good and rested today - with plenty of water intake. 10K here we come indeed!

Bloody flies! So lucky I caught it!

A nice chilled early night is planned, I hope you have a great evening too! 👍 🏃‍♀️ 😉
