W2 R2 ....Done but not great.

[Feegle]

Okay, so that's another one under the belt, no groin pains or signs of a "stitch"...yaay!

However, my shins were grumbling away for most of the time, which spoiled things a little.

I remembered the advice about slowing up and did so, that seemed to have the desired effect and I finished the run okay.

Run number three beckons on Monday

Sounds like you're doing ok, well done

[Feegle Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Feegle]

[Feegle Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

Keep it slow and land lightly.. relax and try to kiss the ground with your feet... ( we do tend to thump down a tad in the first weeks)

[Feegle Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks.

( we do tend to thump down a tad in the first weeks)

I certainly do!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Feegle]

... and sometimes long, long after those first weeks.. I had to remind myself, of landing lightly, yesterday as I hurtled on through torrential rain

Fairy Elephant sprang to mind for me

Feegle I'm W2R3 completed. I'm doing with boyf and he runs faster. I listen to my body and go at my own pace. He walks back to join me in the rest bits. I *could* run faster but choose not to as keen to avoid injury. I found people on this forum suggested slow but sure which fits in with my general approach to many things 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to lostgirl76]

You are doing it perfectly!

[lostgirl76]

Thank you oldfloss- slow but sure is my motto. No point "tearing about" as my dad would say.
