Wk1 completed, again.

So following my calf injury after w2r2 and a 4 day rest, I've just completed wk1 again. Being a totally unfit newbie it seemed to make more sense than completing the last run of wk2 after a break.

Certainly a lot easier than first time round, and working hard on run 3 to improve my time. Really struggling to find an accurate mapping app though :-(

Well done for persevering, wouldn't worry about time at the moment just following the programme slow n steady is enough, I use endomondo you don't have to subscribe if you don't want to and it keeps a good tracking record but there is lots out there 👍

Well done! Injury is a pain isn't it? I'm currently on the IC after graduating, so seeing that you've come back from injury is a real encouragement and morale boost for me!

Don't worry too much about speed, you can always work on that after you graduate. Remember, slow and steady :-)

Well done for picking it up again, and I agree with the others, don’t worry so much on the accuracy of the app. It’s more about time on your feet and you will get a rough idea of how you’re progressing. I use Map My Run and Mr JCR calibrated it against his Garmin and MMR is reasonably accurate.
