Consolidation Run 1

I’ll TRY and keep this short-ish

(compared with my usual posts...!)

Had no real plans for this run yesterday morning, just wanted to have a little shuffle around the village. I probably should’ve gone with a chilled playlist, but the classic punk rock was already there and I was like... yeah... whatever...

Took a new route down to the beach along some long leafy footpaths with a mix of tarmac trail and grass running involved for around 2.5K. Had a little issue trying to get through the footpath gate down to the beach... did consider just running at it and jumping it, but probably needed to be a tad taller for it to work effectively 😄

Had a nice blast down the beach path. Little nod to a fellow runner, young lad that I’ve seen a number of times now ...he looks bloody quick 😬 Then back up onto my usual stomping ground.

Nice big push towards the end and felt pretty puffed, 5.06K in 30 minutes, average pace of 5’57” per km ...all good. I hadn’t planned to go that pace on this run... but that’s the punk playlists fault

...I suppose 😳

Happy I’ve done the 5K again so soon though, at least I know it wasn’t a freak one off for graduation now.

I’m now in Carmarthenshire, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 visiting friends. So consolidation run 2 will happen here on Saturday morning. Really looking forward to my first run in the beautiful Welsh countryside - will keep you posted 👍

Here’s to some happy running this weekend 🙌

Fab timing/run TS!! Sounds like you’ve cracked the 5k well & truly. Have a great weekend in Wales👍🏻

[Hidden in reply to Oldlady57]

Thank you OL! I did have some doubts even on graduation day that I’d be able to achieve it again ...clearly the gremlins at work again!

You’ve slain those little blighters!!

Good job. It’s hard to run slow with aggressive music 😂. Another 5k in another very good time... enjoy running in Wales.

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes bad planning! I’ll run with headspace next time I want a calm one 😁 cheers! Will do looking forward to it 👍

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Those headspace runs do keep the pace down... coach Bennett has a good 30 minute one as well.
