W3R2 done!!

The last 3 min run was tough, Michael Johnson even got a bit of a mouthful when he said id only got 1 min left to do!! Had to pause for about 15 secs earlier as milk lorry came past and I didn’t have the guts to run whilst he went past me!! I’m pleased I’ve done the run today but I know I need to stretch/warm up better than I did this morning that will help the run be more comfortable. Monday is my next run - bring it on!!

Well done you! Regarding warm-up, I usually do some leg swings and circles at home. When I'm doing my warm-up walk I do arm swings and circles, and head circles, probably to great amusement of anybody who seas me, but who cares ;) I do proper ~20min stati stretches after my run, as I need to cool down properly vefore jumping under the shower ;)

Enjoy the rest o your day, honey!

Warm up essential.. after run stretches really essential and exercise on rest days too. Very well done you!

Well done fellow smoothie, Mr Smooth is brave enough to take the badmouthing, as he gets it from a lot of us! The warm up is really important, so now you are going to focus on it, that will make a difference. Happy running next time.
