Well done on joining in the running 🏃 fun.

Also well done for starting to improve your lifestyle

Are you doing the stretches after your runs?

I'm doing the cool down but no stretches maybe that's my problem lol

[Kar43 in reply to Hogg931]

That'll be it then lol 😉

I'll try send you link now 😉 keep up the stretches though, it will fall into a habit and a really needy one to do after each run 🏃
