W7r2 heavy legs...

[Lydia-jg]

Soooo heavy and every step felt hard today, running after work on Fridays is a killer 😖

Wow can’t imagine running after a long week at work. Very well done ! I run very early- more to do with embarrassment than anything else but would love to go out when I felt like it. You’re at the same stage as me so good luck with the next few weeks!

Thanks for the support, good to know there’s other people on the same week, I have really early start otherwise would do arghhh now on longer runs need to get two in at the weekend I think. Good luck this week 👋🏻😊🏃‍♀️

Very well done for getting out there.... just try to make sure you are well warmed up and take the Friday runs even slower than you would imagine.

Relax and let those work week stresses float gently away.Some good stretching afterwards too.

Awesome runner

Thanks 🙏🏻 I looked up stretching today as my legs felt tight last night so will try to add a few things more into my routine, maybe more water too, 👍🏻

Well done for getting out there.It does get easier! Two of my runs are always after work and I love being able to 'run off the day! The hardest part is getting changed when I feel shattered after a busy day and just want to flop down in a chair...but I usually find I feel so much better afterwards.☺

[Lydia-jg Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Agreeed! I’ve got one on Sunday so hopefully will feel better, thanks for the support! 😊

Can relate to that, I walk around 8-14 miles a day at work then come home for a run. Gets harder as week goes on. I find myself trying to talk myself out of running with poor excuses, though once running feel great. Keep smiling your out there doing couch to 5k that's an accomplishment on its own. Well done.

Thanks! I was looking forward to the run to de stress and it is effective when I’ve done I feel a real sense of achievement of a different kind but argh think I need to drink more water 😭💧🏃‍♀️

Running before work is the only way for me.

Heavy legs is a symptom of poor hydration. You need to drink a minimum of 2.5 to 3 litres per day, as mentioned in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Thanks for the advice, I think I knew that was the real issue, I need to up my prep game 👍🏻
