Wk5r3 - I did it!

[Emcdee]

Ankle felt much better so decided to give it a try and figured I could always stop if I needed to. Spent most of the run telling myself I couldn't do it and then suddenly Sarah said I had 2 minutes to go and I then started thinking, oh my god I can do this!!

Ankle twinging again a bit now so will probably have a couple of rest days and look into ankle compression socks or similar but at least that milestone run is done and I did it!

It really is all about ignoring that voice in your head. I CAN RUN FOR 20 MINUTES! Who knew?!

Way to go... 20 minutes is a huge step. Sounds like the ankle will be good now if it’s only twinging after the run. Enjoy week 6

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how I did!

You should be... look after the ankle a day or two then you have 3 more runs ready to make you proud.

[Shakywakey Graduate]

Brilliant. That’s the first big run in the bag. Bring on week 6 🤛

[Emcdee in reply to Shakywakey]

Thanks! It recommends doing that run again before moving on but does anybody actually do that???

[Shakywakey Graduate in reply to Emcdee]

If you feel comfortable, move on. 👍. Run 1 of week 6 is back to intervals

20 minutes!!!! Wow... well done you... you are doing fine...maybe if the ankle is still twinging.. get it checked out

[Emcdee in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks. Now I've got that milestone run done I'll give it until it's completely healed before I run again and will repeat that run.
