it may just be the heat. i completed 4 consolidation runs now, i ran very early yesterday and it was hot even at that time. i completed it but was painful. i truly believe that the heat is playing against us. next week will be better....

Hi, I know what you mean. I’ve struggled with the consolidation runs too. I think without Laura urging you on it’s easy to stop when you get fatigued rather than push through. It’s a challenge too without a goal to aim for. It’s all seems like much of a muchness 😏 I signed up for a virtual 5k run for a local hospice after I graduated to motivate me to push on for that 5k. My medal came yesterday and I was chuffed to bits as I’ve never had a medal for anything in my life 😂. Now I’ve signed up for 50k in August with This Girl Runs just to keep me motivated to keep getting out there. I’ve done 22k so far. For me it’s important for me to have a goal and a bit of external motivation or I know I’ll let things slide and I’ve worked too hard to let that happen. Keep on keeping on x
