Consolidation run 2

Morning! So went out early this time to beat the heat. That was all fine, although still quite hot but manageable. However it was an absolute drag to hit 30 min. I really started struggling around the 20 min mark. So slowed right down and got there. By far my slowest run but I was up and out and that’s what counts isn’t it?

Absolutely. It's about adapting to the conditions and getting out there if possible. Top marks for carrying on through to the 30 minutes👍😀

Yes! Good for you! Some of the consolidation runs can be tough because you are still getting used to running for 30 minutes! You'll be fine, keep at it!

Yes, well done! I did my 25th post grad run on Monday at 6.30am, did 20 mins, enough for me, was so humid. And today's 26th run has been postponed. 😎 Happy consolidating!

Humid, hot - ideal conditions to not hit what we thought we could 😊

Well done on so many post grad runs! I’m in awe 👏🏼
