3rd consolidation run (35 mins) and nearer to 5k than 4 at last! Was soooo tempted to keep going but had a stern word with myself and stopped after a sneaky extra 40 seconds. π that so wouldnβt have happened 10 weeks ago when I could barely run 40 seconds (and Iβm not even kidding!)

Well done Dee, good times too. π
Thanks Dave! Hope allβs well with you ππΌ
So far so good, I ran Tuesday, one hours weight training yesterday, gardening today in which my Garmin recorded 40 minutes exercise!! Next run probably Sunday morning when itβs quiet. Happy πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
Amazing π€© π₯³π₯³π₯³ well done you.
That pace is awesome too!! You are defo going to be at 5k so very soon. This is my goal too ππ
Remember to take it easy though as well. Iβve read lots on here about various injuries which was enough to remind me not to do too much too soon.
Youβre doing awesome though well done π
Thanks ππ» and youβre right, but so tempting to go for it! Iβm using the guided runs on NRC app and the time just flies by as the coach chats away about all sorts. Really looking forward to running these days and never thought I would π
Ohhhh fabulousβ¦.I downloaded the NRC app too and ran my first consolidation run with it. Like you say they chat away and time really does fly π
Your smashing it πππ
Mind trickery! As long as it works I donβt care π
Iβve never used NRC but would like to give it a go one day - I always use music to motivate me. Is there a favourite NRC youβd recommend for the first one?
Hi Chesterlove. Iβve only done 3 consolidation runs with it:
βFirst runβ 20mins
βJust a runβ 30 mins
βA hot runβ 35 mins
I liked them all, probably Just a run was my fave. I have Spotify running with my playlist in the background too. They are a bit cheesy at times but definitely help the time pass especially as I run on my own. Worth a go!
Super well done Dee! 5k here you come ππββοΈπ.
Wow well done you! Super awesome! I need to find these guided runs!
Well done and yes take it easy and just enjoy! I havenβt used the NRC yet keep thinking of doing it but have got used to my music and Mr Strava man telling me how far and fast Iβm running in my ear, he really needs to up his game and say Iβm awesome π€£π€£
Well done on your run! Were you going downhill on the 2nd km? I know exactly the feeling where you want to carry on running but dont want to push it!
