An amazing morning....๐
Well done! Nearly there now โบ I think going for a run post walk is a good idea. I do it often. I walk the dog and then while he kips I get my daps on and head out while still flexed and warmed up from the walk. It makes sense โบ
Good luck with the next one ๐
Excellent stuff Pc59 !
Sounds like you've had a very productive day today! Nice one. I hope you are not going to overdo things though. You don't want to pick up an injury at this stage. Anyway, that certainly gives the rest of us plenty of motivation so thanks for that. You're graduation is almost upon you now. Well done! x
C25k+ Stepping Stones is the follow up programme. Free to download and will get you moving forward โบ
Il be watching out for graduation too๐ yeah I have a niggle under my foot on the arch so got a support on and will take a two day rest & hope it goes away!! You keep going il be keeping an eye on you๐๐๐๐Phyllis x
I am 59 next month but not dreading it at all now that I am much slimmer and healthier, thanks to a combo of c25k, Weightwatchers and my neighbour's dog ๐ He is here with me now, 7 years on from our first walk together. We have just been out into the blue โบ
Ah I know age just a number!! I'm doing slimming world & c25k & so far lost10.5lbs like the running slow but steady๐๐ I'd love a dog but still work full time so maybe that will be a retirement plan!! 2 darling grandchildren keep me going though! Plus since c25k feeling a lot better & confidence slowly coming back!! We will do it miss wobble๐Phyllis x
Go you.. this is fantastic. Sounds like a great run. What a buzz...
Head for that last run, when well rested.. take it steady and then Graduation ! x
I don't have my own dog! Just a borrowed one ๐
Well done you! Looks like a lovely place to run, too๐
It is ๐new path build beside the river part of flood prevention work but a lovely newly tarmaced road & flat which is great for me as a beginner๐๐ IT was a frosty day to start but but nice & fresh for running!! X
