I went out for my second consolidation run this evening, having completed my first uneventful consolidation on Friday.
I left it until this evening as we were out last night and so running was the last thing on my mind this morning ๐ธ๐ธ
I decided to change it up a bit and changed to Michael using run 9:3 again. He was a bit crackly and I still prefer Laura, but he got the job done. To compensate from the night before, I set off very gently tonight, not even trying to increase my pace and by the end of the 30 minutes I felt amazing, so I decided to run for the five warm down minutes to see how that felt, planning to add a warm down at the end
After 35 minutes, I still felt incredible, so decided to finish my lap (of the park where I run). Once I had finished that, I still felt ok and a quick look at Strava said I had covered 4.3km.
Thatโs when my competitive nature kicked in........ I ran past my husband and son who had finished their runs and were waiting and said, Iโm going for my 5k. Still feeling strong and in breath, another lap saw me complete my first 5k in 48 minutes tonight. I didnโt mean to do it, the spirit just took me. But I am delighted. Iโll see how I feel for the next run, Iโll plan for 30 minutes with no pressure and see what happens. ๐
