Consolidation 24 and Weekly Virtual 5K

This was my long, slow run in Zone 3. A lovely run on a beautiful sunny morning in the Norfolk Fens!

I wrote a longer post and accidentally posted it in the Bridge to 10K forum 😬 but thought I may as well leave it there.

This is my third 10K and I’m actually having trouble believing I can run this far with relative ease - and really enjoy it, as well.

I stayed in Zone 3 and wasn’t even out of breath at the finish πŸ˜€

Happy Saturday running, everyone πŸ‘πŸ˜€

Yes, great start to the weekend.. thank you! Thinking of shifting this run to Sunday, though. Less traffic! πŸ‘πŸ’•

I like my Sunday runs and as you say - perhaps a bit more peaceful πŸ‘

I can hardly believe it, having never run until I started cto5k. Magic!

I’m the same as you! And as an older runner, I really didn’t think I would be able to do it. My aim was 5K. And now I’m thinking maybe 10 miles is within my grasp!

Ditto! I'm nearly 61. What is happening to us!

Haha, we’ve got the running bug! I’m 66 πŸ˜€. My aim was to run in a park run. That’s been postponed of course because of the virus. We’ll be doing half marathons, next πŸ˜‚

It's 10k Saturday 😁

A great run Jools ,

The 10k is more enjoyable than the 5 now for me .

Wonder when we will swap the K for Miles ? πŸ€”πŸ˜¬

Haha, I'm not going to rush into it .

But will build to it over the next few weeks πŸ‘

Another wonderful run for you! It must be 10k Saturday! 😁

Thank you πŸ™ Yes, it was great, but I met so much traffic towards the end of my run, I’m thinking of transferring it to Sundays instead πŸ˜€

I know what you mean and it is increasingly problematic with the shorter days.

But Sunday is definitely a lie in day. I think it would be divorce if I suggested getting up early to go for a run on a Sunday πŸ˜‚
