First consolidation run in the bag!😊

Completed my first run since graduating today, I’ve had a few treats since graduating Friday so was good to sweat them out a bit🤣

So I couldn’t decide this morning whether to run for the 30 minutes - or run until I reached 5K.

Decided to run until I reached 5K, and managed to in 34 minutes!! I was so chuffed with this, mainly that I was able to push myself and run over half an hour🎉🤩 am I a runner now?🤣🏃🏼‍♀️

Fancy treating myself to a new pair of trainers - any recommendations?!👟

Hi Lydia

That’s so great and so interesting. I graduated Friday as well and did my first consolidation run yesterday too. I opted to try faster for 30 mins which I did but only by seconds. I think I’ll try your plan tomorrow and see how long it takes to get to 5k. 34 mins is great!!well done. I found it strange without the app but also a little bit exciting 😀. Trainers- I have asics which have very thick soles and great for minimising impact. They were bough years ago and never used... until recently🏃‍♀️

Ah congrats to you for graduating too!🎓 I’m sure you’d reach 5K in 30 mins either way! Thank you. I wanted Laura to tell me how long I had and to motivate me so I repeated W9R3 on the app😅 ah Asics seem like a good contender then!👟
