So did first run of week 5 this morning . Nailed it. Get in there

Have to admit I repeated week 4 and had to take a few days break due to aching hip and knee. Googled and found some good warming up exercises for running. High knees, kickbacks, swing of legs to front and back plus sides. Circling of ankles. All seem to help as no more achey hip or knees. Plus strengthening exercises in between. If this is whst it takes to make a runner of me. Lets get it started πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ
