End of week 1

So I managed to reach the end of week one today and it actually felt easier today than when I did the 1st one and I am less sore than I was after the 1st one. Sadly I am now back offshore for 3 weeks and doing 12h night shifts so will need to keep motivated and continue going to the gym for my run every other day.

Well done for getting started.

Make sure you develop a really good stretching regime after each run - really helps with the muscle stiffness.

Good luck on the dreaded tredmill

thanks, I do yoga so I am making sure to stretch my legs a bit more. I hate the treadmill but I am determined to keep it up while here :)

Well done in completing that first week! And for sounding so positive :) Less sore is good. Keep us updated and good luck in week 2.

Well done. It does get easier as your body gets used to it although it takes a while. Try to keep it up which you're away and you'll be on Week 5 when you get back!! :)

Week 1✔️ Brilliant ✔️ Getting that last run of the week is such a prize.

You have started the routine, take it to the treadmill and collect the three next week. Looking forward to hearing what you get up to.

Yay well done on finishing your first week. I'm only doing treadmill runs but now wk 2 & loving the aircon at the gym in this weather - every cloud... 😄

I will start week 2 when I finish my shift in the morning. It should relax me after having such a busy start to my shift tonight.

Not what you're looking for?
