Consolidation run 5 🏃‍♂️ Intervals

[MartinKH]

Sadie-runs suggested I try some intervals in my consolidation runs, so today I gave it a go.

As per her suggestion, I used the Speed episode of the C25K+ podcast for this. My first time doing intervals and although it was fairly tough (especially the few hilly parts 🏔 ) it was great to mix it up and do something different and vary the pace a little.

I’m planning to incorporate these intervals in to one of my three consolidation runs over the next 5 or 6 weeks.

The other two weekly runs at the mo are a longish easy run for 35-40 mins, and a park run or other 5k run.

Interested to hear what others are doing for their consolidation runs.

Happy running all 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍

This is interesting. I’m just doing the same 30 minute run at the mo, but might give this a try. It might help my pace to improve and I might even get to running 5k one day 😁

I would like to eventually do Ju-Ju’s magic plan - the time version, not distance though.

I thought I’d give it a go, as I really wanted something a little different and to experiment with pace too. This fits the bill nicely.

I’ve only recorded the running part in the screenshot above, the only things missing are the 5 min warm up and 5 min warm down so the whole thing is only 26 mins. These are included in the podcast, so you can press go as soon as you’re ready to start your 5 mins warm up walk. There’s also music 🎶 and some encouragement and running tips on the podcast.

Yes I’m also hoping to start ju-ju- magic 10 k plan in May.

Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️👍

Glad you mixed it up a bit. I've also done some intervals which were quite fun. Mind you I ached a bit afterwards!

Yes I agree, definitely good to have a change. I might be aching too tomorrow 🤣
