Today I ran 6.04km in 40 minutes on my third consolidation run and my average pace was 6.37. Technical issues again with my earphones so was unable to listen to my music but still felt like an enjoyable run although must say do enjoy having music!

Can I ask what everyone is wearing layer wise/? Jacket at the moment?

I am going to attempt my first early morning run on Wednesday!

Wow!! You’re really taking to this!

Faster and longer?!

Are you aiming to reach 10k now? Or just seeing how long feels right?

Thank you so much.

I did not plan to run the 6k but was really enjoying the run.

No, not at the moment. I just plan to see how I get on over and improve my stamina, I am not up to 10k yet but I would love to be able to get there in the future!!

Enjoy your next run

Today, I was mostly wearing a grey fleece-type hoodie over a cheap Mountain Warehouse T-shirt, and shorts.

Not quite ready for the running tights, gloves and beanie hat yet. 🙂

That’s fast 💨

We are putting on a hoodie but after a couple of kilometres tie it round our waists

Thank you.

Ah that’s a good idea I should have thought if that I wore a fleece but found it a bit too hot towards the end!

Enjoy your next run

Im now wearing my wind proof running jacket over the top just to stop that pesky cold wind. Light enough to not notice and can unzip if get too hot. Shorts still tho.

Not quite there with autumn gear, still wearing shorts and running top. Check out decathlon for warm gear.

Hi Rebecca, sorry, I have only just seen this !

Well done , 6k on your 3rd consolidation run is good going 👍

I haven't worn a jacket, but my last run I wore Running tights (I usually wear shorts) as it was chilly at 07:00 but by the time I finished Running at 08:34 I was too warm 😂

Hi Ian,

Ah thank you so much, I just planned to run 5k but I was really enjoying it!

I had planned to try my first early morning run on Wednesday before work but I felt so exhausted so didn’t think it was a good idea, so I am looking forward to going for run tomorrow.
