Second run completed this morning. Definitely felt a smidgen more positive before and after, but I still can’t believe that I’ll ever be able to run for more than a minute at a time....
Got a blister on Monday, so bought some blister plasters - and I’ll be jiggered, got a blister on the other foot today! Heigh ho....
check how your shoes are laced. Eliminating shoe moevement reduces blisters
I found thick sports socks, with a high molecules area and very tightened laces with a double bow restricted most movement, and maybe blood flow
Running is a hugely psychological battle. Yes, you have to build your body, but self belief is crucial to success.
Believe me when I tell you that you will run for thirty minutes and probably in just a few weeks time.
Have you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which is full of tips.
Lidl have running socks in their upcoming running sale. Highly recommended.
You can do this.
There are a couple of Lidl’s near me, but I’m currently in Spain so sale times are different, but I’ll definitely keep my eyes open for some.
I have read the guide, and it helps, but it’s hilly here, which makes things more challenging than I’d like, BUT - today I found a route that takes me almost to the sea, which was great!
UPDATE! My thighs definitely don’t hurt as much as they did on Tuesday!
