Consolidation

[Debsy2008]

Still working away on consolidation runs of 30 mins, not at 5k yet but still happy to be getting out there and enjoying running 😃

Nice cool 7:30 run this morning 👌🏼

Well done. How many have you done?

Recognising I wasn’t going to get faster anytime soon I slowly “grew” one run each week by 10% and made the mythical 5k during this week.

Worth trying? One run goes 33-36-40-44 mins and over 4 weeks that’s enough for most to reach 5k.

Hi Jay, have only done 3 so far as life/works got in the way a little these last couple of weeks but back on it and loving it.

Not sure but thinking of staying at 30 mins for another couple of weeks then starting the bridge to 10K does that sound reasonable enough consolidation?

Looking forward to pushing on again ☺️

Sounds good if it feels right to you. I’m guessing you aren’t far off 5k in 30 mins then?

[Debsy2008 Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

I’m still only hitting 4K 😬 but am seeing it’s slowly getting further on the tracker as I only hit 3.8 on graduation

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Debsy2008]

Well done. You’ll have to tell me how your get on the B210k and all the big kids - I’ll join you there in a few months.

I think the 10% increases will take me a while first before bridge to 10K but nice having little goals leading to bigger goals, we will get there 💪🏼

That emoji always makes me think of a chicken leg! Mmmm, food! 🤣

[Debsy2008 Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Haha! I’m starving now after running... lunch out in order I think 😂🙈

It’s hard trying to get to that 5k eh? I’ve made it to 4.3 miles but it’s taken me 39 mins , suppose got to have some patience. I’m using Garmin now for my timings was prev using runkeeper according to that was running a 5k in 34 mins - no way accurate....

[Debsy2008 Graduate in reply to Dbbd]

Yes not easy but will get there with a little determination, have been tracking on my fitbit, hoping it’s accurate as matching up similarly to Strava.

Main thing is to enjoy though and not get too caught up in data and gadgets ☺️
