Still running

Just finished my 3rd consolidation run for this week never in a million years did I ever think I would be running 30minutes 3x a week . Just going to do this for a while then try to up my pace a bit if possible 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done you! I am on my 2nd week after graduation and feel exactly the same. I never thought I could do this either. Have a lovely weekend..you deserve it !

What's your aim. Increased pace or increase distance or both? Well done on doing 3x30 mins in a week. I'm not doing that yet

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Dave58]

I think I would like to increase my pace but I'm not ready yet I run up 2 hills which to me are steep and then I recover on the flat if I was to increase my pace I would need to cut out the hills and find an all flat route , but I've got all the time in the world to do what want I'm just enjoying being a runner 😂😂

Oh nearly forgot bought myself a fitness watch today nothing expensive just from eBay. Now to understand how it works😂

Running up hills is really hard. Well done. Most of my runs are pretty flat. This running lark is great though isn't it. My aim is to get to 10k.

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Dave58]

It is hard to hill run but I thought I would try it just to see if I could , get out if breath but then running in the flat I manage to get my breath back . Good luck getting from 5-10k keep us posted 😊

I don't mind running up hill I just find running downhill kills my old knees so I try to avoid them at the moment

Running up hills is really good for sneakily improving both your pace and your stamina.

Well done. I did a few 30 and then 35 minute runs, then just went for the 5k. It took me I think 48 minutes the first time. Since then I have tried to run 5k every run and the time is gradually coming down without me consciously trying to get faster. I did it in 41:30 today 😊 Just keep going and the speed will come.
