1st post grad run 😔

A bit disappointed got 3/4 of a mile in and my left calf locked on me and I couldn’t walk it off so I’ve had to abandon my run for today. I’ll give it a couple of days rest and try again.

Shame, sorry to hear that. Yes, rest is what it will need. You are still doing your 5 minute warm-up walk aren’t you?

[Hidden in reply to telford_mike]

Yeah did my warm up walk, hubby thinks I may need to start incorporating some stretches into my warm up. Only other thing I can think of is I usually leave two full days between runs so my run really should’ve been tomorrow not today. I didn’t go off too fast either my times say I was at my usual pace. My left leg now feels quite numb and tingling.

Poor you, hope it sorts itself out.

btw the ‘graduate’ badge next your name looks good!

Thanks I had to log in on safari as I use the app on my iPhone so I can’t see it normally.

These things happen, rest it well and then back on it.

This is my first real setback, my left knee and thigh have been giving me a few niggles I should’ve listened to my body a bit more. X

Did you think a few months ago that you’d ever have a SPORTING injury? Embrace it and be proud!

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Pmsl love it, never thought of it that way, that’s made me smile thank you. X

Hope you get rest and be back to running soon.

That’s too bad. I do a quick yoga warmup first, designed for runners. Ok I have to drive 20 minutes to my favourite route and the benefits might have warn off, but so far so good (🤞)

Have a few days rest and you’ll be up and running again soon! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😀😀😀

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks Hun, I have a routine of stretches I normally do at the end I’m gonna start doing them at the beginning to. One thing I never thought of with being off work at the mo, I work in a school I normally cycle to and from work everyday which obviously I’ve not been doing and hubby reckons that may have knocked my base level of fitness a little.

Sorry to hear this, yes dynamic stretching is best for a warm up. Good luck
