W5R1 went ok but just made it to the final warm down with cramp starting in my left calf on the outside...o..my Saucony trainers have had it, I roll onto the outside of the sole both sides and they are worn badly.....may not be the cause but probably need renewing....otherwise I did it....πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Well done getting this far πŸ‘

Make sure you stretch plenty... I hold for 30secs and do each stretch 3x

And definitely treat yourself to some new running shoes... Make sure you show us.

We like shoe porn on here πŸ˜πŸ‘Ÿ

Good luck on the rest of Wk 5,and let us know how you get on πŸ‘

Sounds like time for a gait analysis.

If you take your old shoes with you,they can tell their story.
