Eeek! A week's gap...

So...I did my graduation run a week ago yesterday, then went away to Cambridge Folk Festival ( fantastic!) and didn't run for a week! Finally managed to get out last night, and although it was pouring with rain decided to keep going to see how far I could do. I hadn't had a gap of more than 3 days since starting C25K - so wasn't sure what I'd be able to do. I'm pleased to say that I could repeat the last podcast and keep going until I'd done 5K - and my pace was actually slightly faster than before! Must've been the rain! Phew - rather a relief that I could still do it!!

Apparently the longer you keep at running, the longer it takes to start losing condition (up to some limit - a bit less than a month, I think). Nice to hear that this seems to already kick in by the completion of c25k.

My sister has just been telling me all about the Cambridge folk festival- sounds amazing! I want to go next year.

Well done on your run

Thanks 😊 the festival was great! I've been going for a few years but this was the first time I camped - it was all fine, and was nice not to have to drive home each night. They're often a bit late announcing the lineup but I've never been disappointed.
