1st Consolidation run done

[scubasmiff]

So went out today to repeat w9r3 as my first consolidation run. I was joined by my OH which was an interesting experience as I've never run with a partner before. First lap pace of the lake was way too quick, at a rough estimate it was a 30 minute 5k, so I slowed it down after that as I was determined to finish all 30 minutes.

It seems strange to run without it being part of the programme, but it was good to get out, need to build that habit now before those dark, wet, winter evenings arrive.

2 more 30 minuters next week and then a 5 lap Friday to build a bit of distance. It's good fun this running lark isn't it?

It's a whole new world when you're out there running and nobody is telling you what to do!! It's way more fun when you're in charge!!

Bitten by the bug! 😂👍🏻 Be talking about running shoes and fitness trackers before you know it 😂😂😂

In all seriousness, well done and great to see your enjoying it.

Happy running!

Sounds great! Well done...

Yes, it's a lesson I struggle with too - start slow and steady!! Agree, those first few runs without Steve were so strange...I've since started using the Nike app. And although Couch Bennett can be a bit corny, I do like his company.

Keep us posted...
