Aches and another run

Ooh I had achy bits after my first run in months. I stretched a bit while listening to Corona Virus news. Then yesterday I did another 5km. I could feel those aches every (slow) step of the way. Having said that, I knocked 4 mins 7 seconds off my ‘come back’ run. The 2nd route was easier, but it’s good to be heading in the right direction. I’m doing The Plankety Plankethon and am hoping for a new PB once my legs are back up to speed.

Happy sunny running everyone.

That is really good going Baddie, 4mins off only your second run in months. I read over here today that tending your allotment is counted as exercise and combined with ju-ju’s plankathon including the new up/down planks 😳 that PB won’t be too far away. 💪🏻Xx

That’s a huge amount of time to knock off. Well done and I am sure your legs will get stronger.

It's easy at the beginning. Gets harder over time to get faster. I'm aiming to get back to my previous PB, then try and improve on it.

Excellent PB for you BTP, you would expect a few aches to happen after a month off running, 4 minutes 7 seconds, nice, like you I am doing the Plankety Plankethon, this morning before breakfast I did that, then breakfast, watched the coronavirus news on BBC Breakfast News, they say you can go for a run, so about 1 hour and a half after breakfast I ran a 5K as part of the Vitality Running World Cup Healthunlocked team, I notice looking at the latest list with that run counted I am at No. 73 on the list with just over 40Km ran, I have had no problems with the distance or Km ran like some with double distance running, so that 40K is correct.

Yes, true. Recovery run next maybe. Although I think they are all recovery runs!

Welcome back! PE with Joe Wick seems popular. Could help you improve your PB further!
