Consolidation 24 - Fastest 5km 🎉🥳

[Kish247]

Hello!!!

So since my last post where I did my first 6km, I did a second 6km and got absolutely drenched and a few days after that I did a 5km which was 2mins quicker than my previous (and slowest 5km)

Today I went out to do a 5km and I knew I was running better than I have in a long time and bosh, I ran my fastest 5km today! Just what I had hoped would happen when I decided to complete a couple of 6km runs. I'm so happy and it's only a 30 second improvement. 🏆🏆

Got home, put the bins out and today is weighing day... I have lost 5lb in a week! ⚖

My partner has been amazing and kept us both on plan with healthier eating and I have no doubt in my mind that this is what would have helped my improved time.

Have an amazing weekend all. 💪💪

Well done Kish247, it’s a great feeling when you achieve a personal best. This running malarkey makes you crave healthier food as you see it as fuel for your runs I find. I also use the Nike Run Club app, you can’t beat a bit of Coach Bennett’s wit and wisdom to get you through 👍🏃‍♂️

Nice!! 👍🏽 I’m have just gotten used to 5ks so it’s great to read that pushing on to 6k actually helps with 5k. Nice one!

Something similar is working for me. I have been doing my consolidation runs at a deliberately slow pace, gradually extending the distance from under 4K to 5K. Over the two months my default pace has increased from 9 minutes per Km to around 8 without even trying. 😊
