1st consolidation run

[Billy_Whizz]

Completed C25K on Tuesday, which felt just amazing. Had no idea when I started that I would get to this point. Enjoyed the discipline of the program and linked with music playlist made for an all round perfect introduction to running. Went for 1st consolidation run this morning and found it much tougher than previous runs. I’m putting it down to probably overstretching myself running 4miles on the graduation run. The novelty of being able to run may have gone to my head and the body hasn’t caught up yet or it maybe it’s running without the aid of the program. Anyone else find the consolidation run tougher?

Could be a combination of both - it can feel strange when you have lost the structure of the guided runs. Have you seen our pinned Consolidation Club post?

Really useful in planning what to do once you have graduated and the importance of that consolidation period too. Hope it is useful. Good luck and keep running!
