I should have done W5R3 yesterday but as it was so hot I did a run where there were lots of trees for shade. It was a long gentle downhill. Lovely to run, but oh my aching muscles! Runnning downhill obvs uses different muscles to a run on the flat.

Oh well, a weekend to recover and then its down to that 20 minute run on Monday.

Yes downhill is tough and puts a fair bit of stress on the knees. Better go for a flat route on Monday! Good luck and enjoy 🙂
