Just finished with the 3rd run of the week. Ran 30 mins for each; developed a niggle on my left quad which I feel only when I walk and not during runs. Anyway, going to ice that annnd I'm ready for next week!!

Bring It!!

Well done! 👏👏👏

But why are you running for 30 minutes in W7? You might have overtaxed your legs a little with that niggle. It’s tempting to run for longer I know (I really felt like that on a few occasions in the early weeks, but resisted), but the programme is designed to build up strength and stamina gradually.

Don’t want to sound like a nag, just don’t want you to get injured! 😀 Look after that quad!

Enjoy your running! 👍🏻😀👍🏻

Ahh well, yeah.. I shouldn't have had done that 😅 its just that I did it once and wanted to see if I could do it again.

I'll be more mindful from here on 🙏

Thank you for the response. Will take care 😄

If you have another half sat around I say you need a good massage on that quad. Not because it sounds bad, just you deserve one!

Week 8 heard that “bring it” and it’s getting all cocky... it needs putting in its place... you got this.
