Consolidation Run 19 🏃‍♂️

[PhoenixRise]

B210K - W1R3

5.5K target

165 BPM playlist

A comfortable 5.5K run today for the last run of Week 1 of @Ju-Ju-‘s Magic 10K Plan.

After experimenting with all the C25K+ Stepping Stone podcasts since graduating at the end of July I have decided that moving forwards I am going to use a minimum 165BPM playlist as my base pace moving forwards.

Even though I am going to be gradually increasing my distance as the programme evolves I know that I will be disappointed if I don’t manage a sub 30 minute 5K for every run that includes/goes beyond a 5K. I also know now that a slower BPM will not help me to achieve this - personally.

Once the 5K sub 30 minutes is achieved in a run I will decide whether to ease off of the gas or keep pushing on at the pace for the longer distance - after listening to my body.

Today’s breakdown:

2.5K - 13:27 ✅

5K - 29:44 ✅

5.5K - 32:49 ✅

Not a 5K PB but sub 30 minutes so I’m happy 😃 I think I will push for 5K PB’s when the run target is 5K 🤔

Anywho, just emptying my thoughts as per.

Happy running all! 🏃‍♂️

Well done and congratulations with the sub 30 5k 😁👍

I think that will elude me for some time yet 😂

Yes I'd be very happy with a sub 30min 5K 😂

Well done, I don’t think I’ll ever see a sub 30 5k, and I’m no longer worried about it either. Trying to slowly work upto 10k, but with the garmin plan rather than Ju-ju’s as I started it first.
