Had my first run this morning. Followed same route ect. What do ppl mean by consolidation runs? Do I just keep on the 30 mins/5k for a few weeks? Thanks

You got it ๐Ÿ‘

A few repeats of the 30 minute runs before trying for further or faster is the suggestion. Of course if it suits you to just run for 30 mins a few times a week and not go further or faster that's great. It's your choice.

That's what I think it means. Staying at the same level for a few weeks before progressing to a more challenging workout.

30 minute runs..shorter runs..see where you get to runs...new rputes too..

Just run..carry on building the legs up and yr stamina and strength exercises too. The slow and steady runs all help towards distance and speed.

.then take a look at IannodaTruffe 's post on what's next๐Ÿ˜Š

Don't just repeat 5K runs..shake it up a bit๐Ÿ˜‰
