Well after not much sleep last night was unsure how this run would go. Was determined to get out and do it though. Was okay but did feel tired but pushed through and managed to complete it πŸŽ‰. Once I get some sleep might feel more happy/ excited about my achievement. Now the aim is to try and run 5k in 30min. Any advice?

Don't worry about 5k just yet , consolidation comes first 😁

Happy Running!

The podcasts are on apple app. Is there not an android app for the podcasts? Also can anyone recommend strength exercises other than what is on links?

Unfortunately the podcasts appear to be missing from the linked page .However my Android app will still play the apple podcasts successfully!

You may also find the James Dunne 30 day challenge is an excellent strength and mobility program .

Great job. Congratulations. Hope you do celebrate in style.

A couple of weeks of consolidation is the way to go. Then you know you’re not pushing too hard and 30 minutes is really doable before working up to a faster time. I’m mixing in slower runs to keep everything ticking over and help build a stronger aerobic base before I start changing things up.

Woohooo! Congratulations πŸŽ‰

We need to do the 30 min runs for a few weeks so it becomes a bit more comfortable which prepares our bodies for next stage. Can try a few different routes to see what's more enjoyable, easier or more challenging depending on how you feel then in the next stage can work on running the 30 mins faster or increase the time slightly. Personally I'd go for the increase in time as it will improve endurance and help cover more ground to reach towards 5K (the 30 min runs should be a bit faster as result).

Hopefully you'll be more refreshed later and be super proud of what you've accomplished - it hasn't been easy. Dunno about you but I've been quite dependent on having Laura to give some reminders along the way, these next runs should help us become less dependent.

Think back to early weeks, some were flipping hard and now we've done a week of 30 mins none stop running. Incredible, enjoy it.

Well done πŸ‘

Well done Wagper08 ! Running when we’re tired isn’t much fun, so actually double well done! 5k will come in its own good time. I hope you treat yourself to something nice as a little celebration πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†.
