Hi not sure how I join this group?
Still posting as was during c25k...
I've done 3 consolidation runs now ...
1st went well , then went away hiking and have struggled with runs 2 and 3...
Not making the the full 5 km without stopping as yet.. having a break power walking..
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....
It certainly doesn't help does it..
I would rather run in rain !!
Good luck with your nxt run
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
Congratulations on your medal and all the best for the new challenge 50k wow !
I might look for something similar to encourage myself too x
