The pain is real

So.... I had to cancel my wk7r1 today due to body pump class yesterday, it was very squat based needless to say I can hardly walk so I didn’t think running today would be a good idea. I have forced myself to walk 5k though. I’m hoping the muscles feel better after a long hot bath

That class you go to sounds to me very nasty😥"body pump class" 😪ouch, seems like a punishment exercise class . No wonder you have been struggling to walk 5k after doing all these squats, I hope you recover from your injury and hope you enjoy your journey with the 5k running as soon as possible 🙆

It did seem like a punishment at the time 🙈🙈 I’ve stupidly signed up for more though, I’m hoping it gets easier and less painful. I’m loving the c25k journey so far, never thought I’d class myself as a runner.

But take comfort in having the most toned glutes on the block :-)

That’s the end game hopefully. As much as it hurts now I’m going to push through and get back to running in the morning. I’ve got radox muscle soak and a good book 😆😆

Squats are great for knees and glutes so it should benefit your running so long as you don’t over do it.

Good to know that it may help, fingers crossed I can run tomorrow, may be slower than usual but I’ll keep going

A body pump class would make me run. Obviously in the opposite direction. Good call on the walk, the run will be waiting tomorrow.

It was surprisingly enjoyable at the time 🤣🤣 definitely think I made the right decision though and not attempted any running today
