Consolidation runs

[Letties]

Since graduating,I've run twice a week.

I noticed I was getting slower for my 30 mins.

This was because I was tackling hills I would have turned around to avoid during training,slowing down but not stopping.

Last night I took a left at top of hill,as I couldn't bear the thought of going up another slope.... ran the best part of a km downhill and did my first 5k in over 3 years in just under 38 mins.

Happy with both these .

Well done you. I started the program on hills so struggled from the first run. Half way through I went to a local park and found running on the flat really boring! Strange cos I still don’t like doing hills as I can only plod up them! 😂

I don't mind slight Slopes,but this is a steep one,and long. No wonder I'd been avoiding it.

Good on you for doing them from the start.

Great running . Also tackling hills will make you stronger I started running proper hills in wk9 they're tough but great feeling when you get to the top😊😊
