Woohoo Emeralds, very well done! Dance, dance, dance on that podium! 😄You need to consolidate 3x 30 mins for a few weeks now, to avoid doing too much too soon. (Lots of people feel invincible after graduation, push too much too soon & speed headlong into an injury - don’t join ‘em!!)

I made myself a new playlist of favourite music and tried out some new routes to make consolidation feel a fresh new phase. After a month - ish of consolidation (& when I felt ready), I used the timed version of Magic 10 (on the Bridge to 10k forum) to build up duration and distance to 1 hour. 😄
