Week 1 consolidation

I’ve run three times. First was 20 minutes just to enjoy myself! Second was with the app and did W9 30 minute run at a slow pace that helped me to graduation. Third run was 20 minutes at a faster pace (knocked a minute off pace) and final 10 minutes back to my snail.

No idea if I doing this right. I’d like to eventually run for longer than 30 minutes over time. Not so bothered about pace. At the moment I do around 4.5 k in 30 minutes.

But having fun and finding my early runs a good start to the day!

Hi, I did my first consolidation run this morning. I used the nike app guided run 22 mins and loved it!! Very upbeat and inspirational. They have a lot of guided runs so going to try some more. A bit like Laura from c25k on steroids 😂😂😂 The time flew by!! I am going to do 20/30/35 ( my 5k pace) each week for maybe 3 weeks then start to extend the runs. Over on bridge to 10k forum a lot of them do a virtual park run in a Saturday so that’s what I will do with my 35 min run. It’s exciting isn’t it!!!
