20th Consolidation Run

[Dodgylungs]

Today was my first run since my injury and I did a very slow consolidation run. I’ve added 5 or so minutes onto my previous 5K time but I purposely ran in a comfort zone today. I cannot risk injury.

Though the run seemed a step backwards it is actually the first time I’ve completed 5K on my FitBit and I went over 5K as I forgot to turn the run cycle off at 5K. The run seemed to last forever and I kept the inclines to a minimum and elected to run a loop on the flat at the end instead of testing my hamstring on inclines. Too early for that. My left thigh felt a bit tight towards the end and I thought ‘No, not the other leg too’ but that was just rustiness from not running for 8 days.

REM and NRC’s Coach Bennett kept me company on this important run which I’m just delighted to have completed.

I’m back in business!

Yay! Fab news! That’s a nice steady 5k to get you back into the swing of things...and you still ran faster than me today 😂🐌

Thank you. Well it’s not the speed that counts!

Good news, Dlungs! Slow running can be very enjoyable in itself.

Thank you. I’m looking to start stepping it up towards 10K now.
