Consolidation struggles

[Sunnytom]

Graduated a couple weeks ago and have done x3 runs each week after this (2x30mins and a 5k) Set off yesterday and really struggled. Got to 15 mins and had to walk for 10 mins before starting again only forced to stop again 10 mins later. Did not do anything different and not sure why I struggled so much yesterday. any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Possibly you have increased your pace without realising it and maybe just need to slow down. Or it was maybe just a ‘bad run day’. Either way just think positively about the next run.

Thank you for the advice x

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

The Consolidation Club healthunlocked.com/couchto5... exists for new graduates, such as yourself, who are struggling, so pop in and see what others are doing and we can talk over plans and processes as well as targets.
