Is this normal

[Martin1956]

Graduated C25K last week ,did first consolidation run ,felt a bit deflated ,decided to have a week off , managed 5days then this morning woke just after 5 ,by 6 was out and did 30mins ,is this a normal sort of a hiccup after graduation?

Perfectly normal... very common... so common that we now have a consolidation club for new graduates healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

My advice would be to set some goals to keep your motivation going. Well done today... I thought I was early up 🤣

I found I was OK for about four weeks of consolidation running then it all became a bit vague with runs being easily put off. Then I settled into running on three set days of the week and since I did that it’s been easy to keep a routine. Good luck with consolidation.

Totally normal.......hence the Consolidation Club.

What you need to do now is to build the habit, so that the idea of five days passing without a run will make you feel uncomfortable.
