Note to oneself, don’t leave it too long between runs. Boy didn’t I feel it.
Took me about 15 mins or more to get into the run / pace. I huffed and I puffed ( little pigs beware) until then !
I had a little spurt when I could see our home and the bonus was it was downhill a bit, quickest bit of the run. Still only managed 3.7k 8km/hr running time but got out and did it. Won’t leave it too long next time.
Happy weekend all 🏃♀️😃

Well done Jules. As you say, you got out there and did it. The consolidation runs are tricky because in a sense we’ve already achieved our target. It’s finding the motivation and wherewithal to keep it going. For me the attraction is fitness and how good I feel after a run. Beats drugs any day of the week!
Thanks D, yes you are very correct, the motivation is harder when you have graduated. I have had a very busy week and have felt guilty not making time to go out. Either to wet or dark, or having to wait for couriers, who then don’t show up 🤬.
You are doing super well and seems you still have your mojo 😃.
The after run feeling is fab, it gets me through the tough runs as I know I will feel amazing when I finish.
I don’t think the consolidation runs are easy , doing the 30 min grad run was just the start I’m thinking 😂🏃🏻♀️
I’m on number 5 and just did 3.8 tonight because I’m trying to stick to just doing 30 min and focusing on steady pace throughout with a slow start. I reckon can only get better with practise 😂😂
Well done Jules! 💪🏼 Don’t worry about your distance right now. Keep on doing your thing, you’re doing so well 😃
I think as newbies we’re still trying to create a running habit. Have that grab your focus and you’re winning each and every session - you went out and did it! 🙌🏼
