I haven’t posted in a while, I’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 😊. Thanks for all the inspiration everyone! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

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 didn’t realise the difference! Thank you so much Rennur, I shall definitely try to claim a new badge soon. I’m very pleased with today - was aiming for 7k but it all clicked and I kept going. Thanks again! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Ah thanks Tasha99! Absolutely 10k - how exciting! I also have a free entry to our local 10k in October so I’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 πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

Might just do that! I didn’t know there was a 60 min badge. Thanks for the head’s up πŸ˜€.

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!
