W3R2 Forgot the knee support 😱

Still smashed it though! Mainly because for the first half I was aware I didn’t have the support on so was going stupidly slow and then Nickleback came on from my playlist and was such a good pace song I forgot about my knee/hip!

I have a small niggle in my hip/knee now but nothing I can’t cope with and nothing like it would’ve been a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed since I’ve started running (and I really do use that term very loosely 😂) my posture seems to have improved so I wonder if that’s anything to do with it? 🤔

Wow... well done. The joints will strengthen and posture will help a lot. Good run.

Did you find it easier than W3R1, too?
