Time off

[Rundee]

Had a day trip to London and did a lot of walking so yesterday could hardly move ...so run even at a snails pace is not happening for a while. I'm off work this week but am back next week and my job is standing up all day therefore am resting up as I don't want to take time off work. Have decided that once my back has improved I will just go out for fast runs and not even try to run until I've strengthened myself. I still want yo do the running but obviously need to be stronger. Disappointed

Rest up and forget about speed maybe?

This is all about stamina, not speed, so when you feel fit enough, take a slow and steady run...

It is meant to be an enjoyable journey not a race... and injuring yourself would be horrid.

Slow down, smile and enjoy

Hope you had fun in London.

Ensure you rest but don't worry about speed,build up slowly and in time the speed will increase.

I started increasing distance and slow speed is increasing.

I graduated in August and have still to do 5K in 30 minutes but Im running 10-15k each week
