Ok so I couldn’t stop my self doing a 5 k again 😂

What are people doing consolidation wise? Continuing 30 mins for a while ? When are you increasing the run time ? I’m not sure what I should be doing.

Many Thanks 😊

Merry Christmas to all you wonderful forummers 🎄🥳

Groundhog day!! I'm just going to keep doing Week 9 for a while.

Tempted to look to do 10k eventually, however, the 30 minutes runs fit in well around my weekly schedule. Slightly concerned that I simply dont have the time for 10k

That’s sounds like a plan. Looked at bridge to 10K and first couple of weeks don’t look too bad. I may do two 30 mins and a 5k run a week for a few weeks and see how I get on.

I haven't looked at the plan yet. Think I might go and take a peak now!

The idea of consolidation is to become completely comfortable with either thirty minutes or 5k, whichever you achieved during the plan, before moving on to increase duration.
