W2R1 down... last run was 2 minutes per mile slower than the others, people who said I could always run slower were right after all!

Little Miss UNM completed W3R2... she says she’s not going to have a practice run so I can’t catch her up!

Yeah, still strapping if for runs... but it’s feeling great again. Say at home now the two knees feel the same so I’m happy with it.

Does the strapping work? I’m about to get gait analysis but doubt can do it til next week... what do you use? The knee seems ok on the run but sore as hell for a couple of days after...

I got those braces from Lidl... wore one for a few days and then started running in it... they’re amazing and at £6 a bargain. I got 2 just in case... and some ankle ones... I’ll end up looking like a cyborg but I’m becoming bulletproof 😂

Sometimes I’m so slow I feel like I’m going backwards. Key is not to stop. You’re doing it! 🐌

Well done.....keep going!!!! 👍👍

Little Miss UNM is a girl who knows her mind.....fiesty and determined!!

Both of you can go at your own pace.......there's no hard and fast rule to do it together.

Slow and steady also gets there in the end.......xx

She’s ahead of me due to the knee injury and that’s helping as my stride is longer and she’s equalling my foot tempo. Of course next run she needs to lap me, so I have to go snail all workout. Today we stayed together pretty much.
