Week 2 completed :)

So today I did run 3 to complete week 2 and what a difference to run 1!

I don't know what the difference was but today my legs just seemed to move much easier on the 90 min runs. 1 thing I have noticed though is on my broken leg as I get tired I tend to loose the flex in my foot and tend to slap my foot down rather than roll through :( I guess it might be something that I have to put up with?? If not does anyone have any tips or advice about this please? It's as if my calf gets tight and then my foot doesn't lift up as far and roll through becomes difficult..........

But YAY week 2 done already and i'm feeling positive about week 3 :D bring it on!!!

Great job.

Maybe do some extra post run stretches on that calf? If the leg has been broken everything there will be a little weaker and a new activity will highlight that, but it should come good with strengthening and flexibility work.

Keep that positivity, it will serve you well. Enjoy week 3.
