Found Run 3 last night the toughest yet and both shins and calves are letting me know this morning. Am so pleased with my progress, honestly didn’t expect to get this far. Going to repeat week 2 before going on holiday. Will do lots of walking while away but not sure hubby will let me run as he fears injury that would ruin holiday.

I am at w3 r3 and I have had the same. So on friends and advice on here I had a gait analysis and got some lovely new trainers. So going to attempt the final run in w3 tonight. The guy at Runner's needs said its really normal to get aches and pains and just to stop if it hurts.

Slow it right down and take shorter steps. That can help.

If you take it slowly and gently maybe.. running tourism is amazing... I broke my toe when in France but not running.. stubbed it on a sun chair :)

Very well done you...stretch well after every single run... and slow and steady as you go:)
