W3R1 - running less painful than walking 😳🤔

•1 Reply

Went out this morning and did W3R1. Found the first 3mins a challenge as my brain told my legs the precise moment it was 90secs in and they wanted to stop, but pushed through and did it. I’m getting a lot of leg pains when I walk, I do tend to tense up and at one point I was thinking I must look like I’m doing a straight legged robot 🤖 walk. Not helped by putting a pair of leggings on this morning that kept sliding down, not because the couch to 5K has made that huge a difference to my weight but that’s what happens when you buy leggings from online shop that have no Lycra in them. 😂 they’re in the recycling already.

Sorry about the leggings but great news on the weight loss. Try shaking your shoulders out when you are walking that can maybe help to relax your walk a bit.
