Starting again!

Starting again with week 1!

I got to week 4 last year and stopped due to very painful shin splints then never went back!

This time I have invested in some good shoes and even have my boyfriend running along with me.

Still nervous and hoping it goes okay!

Any tips to avoid previous problems and avoid any other injuries welcomed!

You know what I'm going to say don't you? :D Go slow! Very slow! That's the most important tip and I needed others to keep reminding me too ;) Good luck!

Hi Lucy. I have just started again after getting to about the same place as you. I got a really bad Achilles injury so I'm starting again from scratch as part of my Physio. I just finished the first one and fingers crossed no twinges. Good luck to you.
