Just completed! Can't believe it.

Some parts seemed easier. Breathing was better too. Just worried about the knees. They were really bad after R1 on Monday !

See what happens!

Are you doing any strength exercises for your knees? Squats are good

My knees were a bit sore when I started but soon got used to the exercise and now I have knee muscles where before there were none!

Hi and thank8 for the tip. No don't do any strengthening exercises. I walk a fair bit everyday going to work but I know it's not the same. Knees haven't been as bad today as previously, so may be getting accustomed? Hope so. See how third run goes on Friday morning. 😅

Yes, I have been a keen walker for many years, but running is definitely different

Good sign that your knees are feeling a bit better Oh and try to place your feet gently on the ground, Oldfloss calls it 'kissing the ground' with your feet

Thanks. I will remember in the morning about my feet!
