1st Consolidation run...hard work

So I have just completed my 1st Run post graduation. I knew I’d struggle without Laura in my ear giving me countdowns. But I found that using the under armour app ‘map my run’ you can turn on stats at desired intervals. So I did just that. I delayed the start by 5mins to get a true 5k time and kept going until my 5k stats hit. I realise having mapped from the very beginning of the runs, including the warm up, during the C25k I didn’t know what my 30min distance was. So wanted to know what I could do 5k in. My time was 31:48 which included some brief walking episodes (never more than 45secs) as it was 17degrees this morning!! My new goal for now is to get my 5k under 30mins. Maybe then I’ll start looking at increasing distance. I just thought I’d share ☺️

Very well done. It’s easy to let it slide once you graduate so it’s good to have a goal. Great tip on the map my run app too 👍
