After an extra 3 days rest after a visit to the physio with calf pain in right leg I finished week 3 this morning with no pain. In fact the whole run was enjoyable!!

Soo happy I listened to the advice.

Running in these cooler temperatures is also lovely πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ🏼.

Great job... the weather is just perfect out there. Hope you remain pain free into week 8.

Fingers crossed. Most pleasing thing was realising that no fitness is lost in 6 days. Good luck with tomorrow’s run. You’ll smash it πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Thanks... my shoes are in the car so I don’t see them, I’m refusing to drive the car, so my key is off the key ring and in the safe... done 2.3 miles walking so far, but it’s gonna be a long long day!

Oooo how was that? I have one but haven’t used it yet as I warm up very quickly and I hate feeling too hot whilst running. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

That’s exactly how I am. Hate overheating. Temp was 6 degrees so went for it and didn’t overheat at all. In fact so much more comfy on pre and post walk. 😁

Good to hear. I’ll crack mine out when it gets cold enough here. Maybe 5 degrees and below ....... ❄️ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I can’t complain, we had the best summer ever! I actually like it cold for running though!

Can’t believe it’s near the end-it’s gone so so fast!!! Who knew running so slow could go so quickly!

Haha!!

Still can’t believe that 7 weeks ago I struggled with 1 minute of running and today comfortably ran for 25. It’s an amazing program πŸ‘πŸΌ
