Week 1 competed

[Chrissy62m]

Well I've completed week one and enjoyed it so much! Can't wait for week 2. Do you all do anything else on a rest day, eg swim or walk?

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Yes, anything non-impact on a rest day is good, strength & flex exercises, swimming, yoga, Pilates, cycling, walking etc

I walk, cycle & do Pilates. 😄

Thanks for the link, I've had a good read, especially the stretches 😊

I do some yoga poses and stretching before bed every night. Weekends I do off road cycling and in the week... work 💪👍😁

I tried walking to work and back on non run days but that’s been halted at the mo due to a knee problem. I’m hoping that start cycling and walking more again in a couple of weeks.

I do spin classes, Pilates, Bootcamp on my rest days. I used to do more stuff before I started c25k but I struggle to find time to fit everything in and sometimes I’m too shattered after a full day’s work.

My advice is to pick something you enjoy and go do it on your rest days. Any activity is better than no activity. 😀

Depends how busy I am! I walk the dog, I might make it a longer walk if I feel the urge and the dogs up for it!! Sometimes I’ll do yoga from an app on my phone. Sometimes though, life gets in the way! I always make time for a run on my run days! It’s addictive 🤣🏃🏼‍♀️

Hi, looks like we have started at the same time so will be nice to follow your progress. I too am already looking forward to my next run which I can’t quite believe I am saying! I do 3 spin classes a week, two of which are on the same days as my run days. Not ideal but only way I can fit them in. Good luck in week 2. 😀

[Chrissy62m in reply to HelsN68]

And good luck for week two to you too! ☺️
