Week 1 Run 2 - Painless and much more fun!

[fitnotfat]

Yesterday I did run 2 after work - walking/jogging along the river to the Park and Ride. My first run wasn't entirely pleasurable - but the feeling on finishing was great. I also ached for days!

However yesterday was much better and I'm so pleased! I didn't keep watching my phone counting down the seconds until my next walk, I didn't feel so conscious either, and the distance travelled over the time was a good chunk further than run 1. Best of all, I took your advice and did a few stretches after the warm down walk - and haven't ached at all!

I felt my feet were slapping less, even though I was wearing the same shoes - perhaps it was a case of me taking things more easy from the outset - not sure!

Really looking forward to run 3 after work tomorrow now!

Slow and steady really is the way...the journey is yours, to be enjoyed.. take it at your pace and you will find it all follows on

Excellent news, run three will be amazing, then week one will be done with. Well done to you. Keep us posted. 😀

Well done! It will probably get a bit easier as your body gets more used to it and you work out what works best for you in terms of pace, how to stretch, etc. You're doing great - sounds like you're getting the bug already
