1st consolidation run

Went out this morning for my first run after graduating (I’ve joined a running club and started at their beginners on a Thursday night). This was the first run I haven’t been able to complete. My thoughts were to run 15 mins then turn around and run 15 mins back. Well, just after the 10 min warning I really felt awful!! Started coughing so I turned round and only completed 22 mins. Oh well Monday’s another day!

You were correct to stop your first 30 minute consolidation run today Shelley, that was a sensible decision, nice that you have joined a running club, better luck for next Monday.

Well Shelley you still ran, so in my book that’s fabulous. 👍 Sorry you didn’t feel great today though. It was a pretty foul day, but at least you got out there. Well done on joining a running club too! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hey Shelly... sounds like you may have a bug coming? You know what? You’re not on the plan any more... you don’t have to run 30... sometimes you’ll run more, sometimes less... and that 22 minutes made you a little stronger than before you ran it. We end each and every run a better runner. Enjoy Monday... relax and just celebrate your progress as you set off.

Glad you got out there but hope the next one goes better. Always remember the First Rule 😉

Some runs are just like that. See my last run! Turns out I had lurgy about to show itself, the next morning I had trouble breathing whilst walking so it was no wonder I had trouble with the run!!! Well done for stopping and turning round! Its something I will definitely do next time!
