Consolidation Run (CR) 1 🐌🐌🐌

CR1 The plan was to walk for 10 minutes, run 30 mins then walk until I reached 5k.

I woke up this morning not feeling 100% and ran to the loo (poorly)) ...... regardless of this I still got on my treadmill and completed the walk and started the 30 minute run but my heart wasn't in it, no goal, what am I doing this for at my age etc.. then I had to have an urgent bathroom break (poorly again) after which I felt great so got back on the treadmill πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„!!

I usually reduce my pace after either 10 or 20 minute point but didn't and had enough energy to increase my pace 2 minutes and again 1 minute before the end of the run.

So I reached the 5k which took in total 51.30. All in all a good run. Even though this is slow, I'm a really happy snail.🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

Keep safe everyone and happy running.

Congratulations on sticking to it but remember it's okay to give yourself a break sometimes when you really don't feel well. I hope you're on the mend soon!

Well done, you stuck with it, that's what counts, maybe a bit of post graduation! With all this rain, your treadmill has come into it's own, hope the tummy sorts itself out! πŸ˜€

Cripes - you’re made of super sturdy stuff! If there was a moment to take a rest, this sounds like one. In total awe. Hope you feel better soon.

Well done for going through with it, all things considered. Lesser mortals would have chucked it 😁

I did CR1 today too, after a curry & not much sleep. I found it quite tough. Tried the pod casts c25k+. Jeez! Had to switch it off after a minute 🀯. Awful lol

5 minutes walk, 30 minute run and 5 minute walk. Usual pattern, but it was fine despite the curry sloshing round my belly🀒

We’ll smash CR2!!!
