Just started Week 4!

[Glen2]

I’m at the wrong end of 50 and from the couch started three weeks ago. The last three weeks have been fine but today’s last 5mins was hard! The temperature is 24 and it’s humid so I hope it’s that. It’s the muscles around my right knee that struggle even with a support on. Oh well I’ll see how the next one goes

Hi there.. welcome and well done... you are the perfect age to do this

Make sure you are really well hydrated... and especially so with this funny weather

Try these exercises for your knees

The only way i can cope with the heat is to do my runs really early. This doesn’t come naturally to me, but at 6am the paths are quieter and so much cooler! Good luck!

Im a decade younger, deliberately waited til after 6 today and i found the last 5 mins (also on w4) practically impoddible. Just made it though!

Thanks, nice to know although sorry you struggled too!

[Shyfox Graduate]

I really struggle in the humidity so you're not alone! The weather has been very difficult recently so well done you for keeping it up.

[Glen2 in reply to Shyfox]

Thanks for your support, good to know

Well done for getting this far. It has been very hot and humid this week. I didn't pick a good week to start.

You could repeat the week your on if you don't think your ready to progress to the next week. On the other hand it may be easier than you think!
