Finally got back out on the road after 6 weeks without running. After the birth of our daughter five and a half weeks ago running hasn’t had much of a look in.
My last run was the second 8k run of Juju’s magic plan so I’ve been a little worried about how the long break might effect my fitness. Managed to dash out and do 3k this afternoon in the last of the light, was conscious to keep it slow but it went fine and didn’t end up a great deal slower than my usual pace. It was a bit up and down in terms of hills and I’d be interested to know how I’d have fared on a flatter route.
The only thing I did struggle with was my back, on a particularly steep uphill section the bottom of my back on my left side began to ache and stiffen up. I think I naturally have quite a weak back and it had previously been helped a lot by running, but if anyone has found any particular exercises useful for that area please let me know. I’m sure it’s worsened by all the new activities I’ve been doing - changing nappies and feeding in bed etc. 😃
Anyway, back out and hopefully not too long until my next run
Right back where I started.
Coming back after injury and illness, would appreciate some advice
