1st CR - slow but sure 😊

[Frenc]

So I did my first consolidation run this morning, using the last run of week 9 to guide me - I can’t give up Michael J quite yet! Anyway, I did a totally different and lovely route which was pretty much downhill or flat, really slowly I have to admit! Mentally it was very different because I couldn’t really estimate how far I’d gone based on familiar landmarks and therefore ran a good 0.3 km less than last time! But I really enjoyed it especially as it’s nice and sunny here today! Finished at Winchester Cathedral. Onwards and upwards!

Very Well done on your 1st consolidation run 👏 looks like a nice scenic route. I just managed my 5th CR last night in the dark round my local streets so sadly nothing worthy of a picture 😂 great feeling though. That was the 2nd run I’ve done without Laura in my ear keeping me company on route... not sure if I’ve given her up for good yet or I may listen to the other guides and see what they have to say. Keep up the CRs though Frenc 👍 hopefully we’ll both get to wherever we are going?

Thank you Art48! Well done on your 5th CR, and without Laura. When I know wherever it is we’re going, I’ll let you know! 🤣.

Well done, glad you had such a lovely run.

Many thanks Zip54! I really enjoyed it for what it was - although I was thinking this is so cool that I can do this! Seems to have opened up many new possibilities 😀🏃‍♀️.

Well done for your first consolidation run! I dumped Michael and just ran to music, it felt so free! A new route really helps, too. I remember heading out of the village on an adventure, feeling like a real runner 😊

[Frenc Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you Jools2020! Yes, this morning definitely felt like an adventure - here’s to many more 👏🏼😀!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Frenc]

Hear, hear! Having said that I dumped Michael, I did have to go back to him later on, cap in hand, as I did W1 R1 again as part of interval training. Fortunately, he was very forgiving 😂

[Frenc Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

He’s pretty chilled is our Michael! 🤣
