A few things I’ve learnt

[Queeny1969]

After a few stops and starts this year due to illness I’ve just started week three. There are a few things I’ve learnt due to my age and lack of fitness along the way. I can only run twice a week or my knees are in agony. I’ve learnt to enjoy running on a treadmill as it’s easier on my joints. I’ve also learnt to take things easier as this is my own personal journey to fitness and not a race, as n the past I’ve pushed too hard and ended up failing. I never thought at the beginning of January that I would actually be able to run for three minutes.... I suppose it’s the small personal victories that count along the way

All very wise realisations.

Running on grass reduces impact, like a treadmill and has the advantage of the great outdoors.

If you are still suffering joint issues, it may be that more heavily cushioned shoes could help.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thanks! Will do I think I might try gait analysis in a few weeks time see if that helps xx

Unfortunately for me, living on the UKs only island town, grass is only form enough to run on for a few months of the year
