Eeeek!! Improvement!! 😱😱😱

Decided to shake things up a bit as it's all gone a bit stagnant with my consolidation runs 😳 So over the last few days I've introduced some core strength exercises because I've seen no sign of improvement with my 30 minute runs; I find them as awful now as I found them when I graduated a month ago!! ☹️ On this evening's run I managed to clock up another 0.5K which isn't huge but takes me nearer to a 5K ~ and for someone who's been flatlining - it's Wahooooo!! 😬😬🙌 I had also taken a 2nd rest day which is something I'd stopped doing, but something I'm going to start up again!! 🤓 Just wanted to show off my progress really 🤣 thanks for listening 😊

Excellent! Small changes can reap big benefits. I think it's wise to mix things up a bit so we don't get stuck in any ruts 👍😉

Keep at it, I am proud of us, we are still running. I managed 2.6 miles tonight in 31 minutes. My goal is 5k ( I think that is 3.1 miles) . I am not bothered about the time just the distance. I find the first 10 to 12 minutes hard. I am too focussed on pace and breathing. When I stop thinking about it nature just kicks in. Still not going to run to Dizzy Rascal, ever.

There is nothing wrong with that extra rest day in my opinion

Haha Runningroni 🤣 Dizzee shuffled his way onto my Spotify during my run, I thought of your reaction to him and laughed 😂 Yes we are doing great! Go us 🙌🙌

Well done! It does get stagnant after graduation when the focus seems to go. I mixed mine up too but now seem to be all over the place! But at least we’re still doing it! Every KM counts!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Yeah I was still keen to get out there but starting to get frustrated because I wasn't improving ~ so really hoping this core strength stuff will help 🤞

Well done you! I rather be a bit stagnant with consolidation runs than just stagnant any day: I’m so stagnant I’ve got mosquitoes buzzing round my head 🤣🤣. Take it easy and you’ll get there, you’re doing brilliantly 👍👍👍

Those mozzies will be old news very soon 😊 Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞😬
