Starting again

[The-K-is-Silent]

Started Week One today, three months after the first attempt. Legs are seizing up now though!

I started today too. I had an Epsom salt bath after, hope this helps. I’ll find out tomorrow. Good luck with your journey.

Only to be expected. It’ll get easier (I hope!). Good luck with it.

Well done. Slow and steady and make sure you have your non run days 👏

Make sure you are warmed up really well and put in some strength and flex exercises in on rest days too.

Well done on starting! That first run nearly killed me...and now I can run for 20 mins! I still can't believe it! Keep going, it's so worth it. I find lying on my back with my legs against a wall for 15 mins after my run really helps. Plus a foam roller to massage your legs, Aldi have just started selling for £5.99. Good luck!! 😀

The legs are working again now, all set for the next run tonight. Looking forward to it!
