Week 2 - Run 2 ✅

[JG94]

Complete! Not much more I have to say about this one apart from the ice was a bit of a problem. I was very worried about slipping and making a fool of myself to passing vehicles. However, I made it all the way and felt like I had done very well considering the conditions. I’m just concerned that this weather is going to bolt my progression on this programme.

Very well done ! ⭐️ Makes sense to think carefully about time and route in this weather, and if everywhere is glassy, maybe wait a day or two. Nothing slows you down like an accident x

Thank you for the support! I’ll judge the situation on Friday when I’m up for run 3.

You’ll nail it - just stay safe 😀

Great job. Maybe look for routes off the pavement? A frozen footpath or bit of grass tends to be less slippery than pavement. Here’s hoping the weather improves soon so it’s not an issue.

Thank you. I may have to look for a grassy area to run around for the time being if the weather stays like this. I hope you are managing okay!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to JG94]

Yeah... got my first 5k since injury in earlier. Bloody cold but sooooo good!

[JG94 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Well done, it was freezing!! What was your injury?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to JG94]

I badly sprained my ankle while being stupid during a walk!

I'm in the same boat right now. I found a stretch of grass near me that's long enough to just run back and forth on. Hopefully there's something near you similar.

I will look around for a nice area of grass to run on, although, I have to say I quite enjoy running on the roads and watching the world go past as I run.
