I havenโ€™t posted in a while, Iโ€™ve just been cracking on with consolidation runs which have had their highs and lows. Anyway, today was a super high - beautiful weather and a new route. Wore my lucky new leggings and a tee, and was pleased not to overheat. Anyway, this was CR21, and I managed 8.11k in just under an hour! Really happy ๐Ÿ˜Š. Thanks for all the inspiration everyone! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well done, but you are confusing the issue for others by referring to your run as a consolidation run.

On this forum we use that term to refer to runs of 30mins/5k (whichever you achieve during the plan) to consolidate BEFORE moving onto longer runs or speed work.

The appropriate word for your achievement is simply a run.

Congrats on your (not)Consolidation run. That is a nice pace too. If you run an hour next week you should be able to claim a new badge.

Ha ha yes, I honestly didnโ€™t realise the difference! Thank you so much Rennur, I shall definitely try to claim a new badge soon. Iโ€™m very pleased with today - was aiming for 7k but it all clicked and I kept going. Thanks again! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Ah thanks Tasha99! Absolutely 10k - how exciting! I also have a free entry to our local 10k in October so Iโ€™d better take advantage of that. If someone had said that when I started in November, I would have laughed very hard. Thank you for your support ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Fantastic! Always run!

Well done! You're definitely on a roll. Or on a run! Join us on Bridge to 10K, you can go for the 60 min badge and/or the 10K badge ๐Ÿ˜‰

Might just do that! I didnโ€™t know there was a 60 min badge. Thanks for the headโ€™s up ๐Ÿ˜€.

in reply to Frenc

There is, I am working to it myself. Ran 50 mins today and hope to reach 60 in about a month or so. See you there!
