First week of consolidation runs ✅

[Schofield]

Woke up this morning feeling a little fed up, not sure if it’s the change in weather. Thought I’d have a nice relaxing day at home in my pyjamas 🙈🙈 but then Mr Sunshine popped out to say hello and I put my big girl pants on and decided to go for a quick run. 5k done means I’ve successfully completed 3 x 5k since graduation 30 mins 52 secs today....

30.52 is a excellent time for you Schofield, not long now until you have a sub 30 minute 5k.

[Schofield Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I did do a sub 30 last week, need to work on my consistency 🤣🤣

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great pace there... I love the way you consider 5k as a “quick run”. Keep on doing it.

[Schofield Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It’s not as good as the other day but I’m ok with that.... I’m still in new runner mode and I’ll build on my pace as I go..... I didn’t actually intend doing 5k today, just thought I’d do a 15 min run but just continued when I hit 3k 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Schofield]

Ah... I see. Well, it doesn’t do to PB every run... there’s a lot of truth in “slow down to speed up” but that’s all to come after some more runs!

[Schofield Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yep..... think I’ll be talking to myself next run to try and stabilise my pace again..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another great run. And the time is brilliant. 👏👏. I also nipped out for a 5k in the sun in Wakey this afternoon . Lovely run to shift the after effects of last nights gin 😁

[Schofield Graduate in reply to Shakywakey]

Oh dear.... gin not good 🤣🤣 I did my usual golden acre run....: whereabouts in Wakey do you run? Newmiller dam used to be a fave of mine when I lived out that way 😊

[Shakywakey Graduate in reply to Schofield]

I know. The gin was lovely at the time but not this morning 😁Not tried Newmillerdam yet. Might give it a try. East Ardsley Reservoir is a fav of min. Really flat and about 2.4k all the way round, so I do 2 or 3 laps. It’s a great location

[Schofield Graduate in reply to Shakywakey]

Its quite flat from what I remember, used to mountain bike around it in my younger days ... your route sounds perfect, I need to find some winter running routes

[Shakywakey Graduate in reply to Schofield]

I know what you mean. I think I need to find some new routes
