Caution. Slow jogger.

Thanks to all the support and advice sent to my initial post. The first time i tried R2, i ended up shaving 10- 20 seconds off the last three runs because i couldn’t manage it.

Somewhere in the masses of info sent was a link to a video showing slow jogging (i think it was japanese?) so this time i took it at a snail’s pace. Casual observers might have imagined that I was almost stationary, but......it was perfectly manageble this time.

Hurrah! And thanks to whoever included that link.

Slow is perfect. You can’t run fast at first. It’s impossible so let it go

There is nothing finer to me than a slow jog. It’s a wonderful thing

Enjoy yourself 😃

As you get stronger your pace will pick up but for now enjoy the sessions
