Well I completed my W1R2 this evening. Took my hubby with me to the local beach. He had this idea to run on the sand, less impact he said. I guess it was less impact but the wind was flaming hard especially as we were running into it. Did the 2nd 60 secs and then turned around so the wind was behind us to complete the rest of the 30 minutes. I loved it despite the fact my calfs now feel like they've been trampled on π
Note the cheesy smile for just completing my run π

Wow, not doing it the easy way are you? Except that running in beautiful places, especially by the sea is very good for the psychological elements of learning to run.
Thanks for all the lovely support guys. I'm off today to buy a foam roller (not the type that goes in your hair mind). Apparently it's excellent for relieving/rolling out the pain! Cheers ππͺ
Glad you got off to a good start. Maybe try grass or tracks as alternative to pavement? Sand will be hard work but will build up lots of muscle and stamina I think! Keep going and keep posting on here.βΊ
Well done and lovely photo! Running on sand is really hard work, it sucks out all the energy from your legs - grass is much easier and a bit more cushiony than hard roads. I've just done week 1 run 3 with my OH - second time round with C25K for me (having had a nasty fracture earlier this year), first time for him.
