Consolidation week 3 run 3. Nearly 5k

Decided to run without the App for the first time and just try and plod it round steadily for 5k. Bit disappointed when I got back to find Id only managed 4.8k (d'hoh) in 44 minutes, but it leaves the 5k hanging out there for next week. My idea is to carry on with 2x 30mins and 1x45 mins at the weekend.

Aghhh. That's bad luck that. Just 200metres short☹️ Have you not got a phone with a GPS and an app that could tell you how far you've gone in real time??🤔

Sounds technical. It was the first time I ran without the App and just a stopwatch. I'll look into it.

It doesn't suit everyone but that’s why I run with the app and my coach for now 👍

Yes the App is good for 35 minute runs as well. Your message has encouraged me to down tools for the day and get out there now for a run. Thanks!
