My 3rd 5k, consolidation run 10

Managed 5k again this morning after bailing out at 3k last time as I felt rotten the minute I started. First time I haven’t completed what I intended to run. Today was ok though not as fast as my first 5k last week but I’m relieved that last time was just a blip. I’m happy to stick to 5k which has settled to 37-38 minutes, something I could not have envisaged in week one at the beginning of April.

But it’s not about speed, it’s building up the stamina. By the time you graduate and do a few consolidation runs, you’ll go faster without really trying- at least that’s what I’ve found. It would probably have taken me that long to do 5k in week 9, but I didn’t have the energy to continue

Synchronicity. Flow. Once you get everything moving together your speed will increase. You’re doing really well just be patient. Go with what you can do and improve on that. Comparison is not helpful. It really gets in the way.
