Week 2 R 1

[AngieCaine]

Well, I was dreading that today. I did all week 1 runs during the day as I was off work.

Feared W2R1 all day today and whilst I'm not going to claim it was easy, I got home, chucked my kit on and headed out before I had chance to think. I wasn't fast, but I did survive! 😁

Struggling a bit with a sore left ankle, think my technique needs some work as I'm slapping my feet down. Any tips please? At the moment I'm focussing on breathing only! 😂

I’m on W2R1 too and was also dreading the 90mins of running - my hip is sore, but it was ok. Well done on keeping your resolve!

90 secs!!!!!!! 😱

[AngieCaine in reply to Crittermad]

I genuinely didn't think I would be able to do the 90 seconds, but it was far easier than I thought.

Hope your hip is ok and you find a way to push through that. I've been finding that my ankle hurts when I start but is then ok until I get home, when I limp about! 😂

Ditto - mine wasn’t too bad when I was running - got a wheat bag on it now!

I watched You Tube on running techniques it was really helpful. There’s lots on there 😁

I’m also on week 2. Changed course tonight as ran whilst daughter in class but felt wrong. Back to local park on Wednesday.

I think the route can hinder or help. I live at the top of a hill, no matter which way I do it I have to finish uphill. My Fitbit registers 13 flights of stairs on my route! 😂

Think I'll need to find a better route at some point!
