Consolidation run #1

15 Replies

I thought I’d set my polar to a distance of 5k this morning to see if I could achieve it and my aim was to just take it as easy as possible because I’ve never reached that distance before...and I only went and bloomin did it!! 👟🏃‍♀️😄 Even more amazing is that I managed it in just short of 35 minutes, which I’m just blown away by! Nearly stopped in the last half a k with a stitch, but overall I’m properly chuffed with that! Now home for toast and tea and a bit of yoga. It’s really windy out there today!

Happy running everyone!

Thank you! I was completely pleasantly surprised! I was expecting it to be nearer your time to be honest! You did very well to get that time too. All that hard work paid off ☺️

Considering we are in our 60’s we are chuffed we can run at all and the time gets a little better for every run we do, our fastest 1k is now 8 minutes and that was when we said we’d start off slowly so we could carry on, i’m looking forward to the 15 minute run in the magic plan because we can push ourselves a bit lol
