Consolidation Run 3

[LeeU]

I didn't run on Friday, I was soo tired, I'd spent the 2 previous days on a training course (remote of course) and I think it took more out of me than I thought.

I couldn't run on Saturday, I had my car booked into a dealership in Leeds to have the activity key kit fitted, if you don't know what it is here is a short video:

youtube.com/watch?v=0TDfBBX...(Not working as expected?)

It basically allows me to lock the keys in the car securely and go swimming, cycling, running, etc, without worrying where the key is and keeping it dry, etc.

I can go to the gym, leave the keys locked in the car and even if someone breaks into the locker they wouldn't get my car keys.

Anyway, back to today, I hit the treadmill for another 30 minute consolidation run, I admit I found it hard to get into a rhythm at the beginning but before I knew it 5 minutes of jogging had gone!

I carried on, finally hitting the right rhythm and settling in, nice steady pace and deep diaphragmatic breathing,

About 20 minutes through I upped the incline from the obligatory 1 degree/percent (whichever it is) and plodded on.

5 minutes to go and the incline went up again, breathing deep, heartrate controlled.

The last 60 seconds, the incline went to 15, the highest my treadmill will go, no change in speed, it probably would have been easier if I had gone faster but I wasn't wanting to peak my heartrate like that.

The 30 minutes ended, I slowed to a brisk walk and kept the incline on 15 and did the warm down walk at that.

Overall, a great run, thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait until Wednesday now, I did spend some of the run thinking about where to ride tomorrow morning, I'm not sure if I should do the first ever course I did on my own or re-do the Trans-Pennine Trail again, I suppose it depends on which chaperone I get, if any

Happy running everyone!

Well done, and what a cool feature too....

Thanks, I like my tech toys but this one will come in handy when either going for a run or a ride when I'm either on I'm visiting somewhere or when running down the canal, ParkRun, etc.
