Still can’t say I’m enjoying it but I’m determined 💪🏻

Ankles ok after today’s run but hip still sore. I was kinda hoping the runs & rest days would “run it off”

Possibly the reason for the sore hip is that perhaps you are running 🏃 a little quicker than you should, I hope your sore hip heals soon even if it means that you take more than one day off running 🏃

Thank you, I have tried to rein it back but don’t think I could run any slower 🐌🐌🐌

It took me quite a while to enjoy the running- eventually I had a couple of minutes when I was tolerating it ( simply feeling “this is ok”) and that gradually grew. Enjoyment sneaked up on me later. I certainly enjoyed the sense of achievement and the many benefits. 😀

Go gently, I hope your hip settles soon. 😃

Thank you, yes I seem to be at the “tolerating” stage 😳😳

I've had some pains in my feet (that existed before c25k I should add). It doesn't go away but is not as noticeable when running.

So keep going. See your GP if it remains a concern (like I did)

You're going great! 😸👟👟👟😸

Not what you're looking for?
