Well done!! But mind the legs. "Sore" is okay to start with. "Hurting" is not okay. May just be sore quads/hamstrings or sore knees. That's to be expected. Real pain is not good. Just be careful and look after those legs for us, okay?
Thanks. Yes I think just sore. Body needs time to adjust to a new exercise.
That's the ticket. Soreness for a couple of weeks is nothing to be alarmed about necessarily.
But if you haven't had your running gait assessed in a specialist running shop, now's the time to have that done too. 9 times out of 10 it's wrong shoes that give people issues as they go through the programme
Not what you're looking for?
