First consolidation run

Hi all , I done my first consolidation run today after graduating. It was my first run without Jo as I decided to use Strava to track my run and just have my music playing through my headphones.

The weather was pretty rough but I have to say I really enjoyed this run . I ran my usual route and am pretty pleased with a distance of a shade under 4.5 k in 30.24 mins . I kept with the 5 minute warm up and warm down walks as specified in the program.

I could never have imagined a few months ago that I’d be able to achieve this and think I may well be hooked .

Happy running everyone 🏃‍♂️

Good consolidation run for you Mark1875, there are many people here who have got "hooked" on running, some have even ran a half or full marathon within a year of graduating from the course, for you, onwards and upwards 🏃🏾

Great first consolidation run Mark1875, time and distance wise, it sounds like you’re definitely hooked....if you’re missing Jo try the Nike Run Club app, lots of coached runs on there for you to choose from👍

That's good wheels. Keep up those 30 minute runs a bit longer and only then move on to 35 minutes when you will easily beat 5K. Impressive.
