W2 run 3 done but struggling

[Tashaliza]

Finished week 2 by the skin of my teeth....I have sciatica which flares up for 24 hours after each run and I'm not sure if I can run for 3 minutes next time.....I'm also struggling with diet, I wanna lose weight but running is making me soooo hungry, is this normal?

If it occurs every time you run, it may be worth having it checked out by your GP. I am not hungry after running, quite the reverse; are you eating enough in the day? Sometimes we can cut back too far when we are anxious to loose weight. Well done for getting out there xx

Yeah I suffer from sciatica anyway but running has been making it flare up more x

Well done completing week 2🤗

Maybe it's thirst, not hunger?! Drink a big glass of water after your run then wait and see if you're still hungry.

The tummy kidding trick is to drink water. Not in one go but regularly so you’re often drinking. This is kidology for your stomach, according to my GP. As for W3 take it easy and slow, think 🐌 and that will help. Slow running is cool running and builds your stamina.
