Week 3 run 1 in the bag and feeling good πŸ‘

So pleased I got out today: had a 150mile round trip this morning for my son’s rugby match (they lost πŸ™) but when we got in I got straight into my kit and out before it got dark and french homework got in the way. Really enjoyed this run: I think I have my knee issue under control too. Photo was me a minute or so into my cool down walk: if you look you can see how the road falls away, which was my final uphill minute. Apparently hills make you stronger....! All in all I’m a happy bunny this evening. Enjoy your week, everyone x

Ha French homework, "Est-que tu parles

francaise", before you do that, I'm so glad you enjoyed your run πŸƒ, nice photo of you Molly 😊 after watching your son lose at rugby πŸ‰.

Ha! I wouldn’t say nice, exactly! A bit redder in the cheeks than last week! Thank you, though x

Iv been known to go and do my run while my daughter is warming up for her football match. The parents think I’m very dedicated to running now πŸ˜‚

Hills make you stronger, faster, and able to run further on flat... They’re all good, apart from maybe the running up them bit!

Great job... and I thought I’d had a busy day πŸ˜‚

Well done! Struggling after and injury at W3r2 so rested for 3 days and did W3r3 today. Not great and the ice pack is my friend. Next week will be make or break I think re continuing through or resting for longer whilst doing strengthening and stretching exercises. Happy next run!

I had knee pain in week 2 which is settling with ice, stretching etc. However rather than lose momentum on one day I went back a week and took it really steady for one run and that helped. I hope you’re feeling better soon πŸ‘
