Week 3 Run 3

[Cfc55]

Week 3 done 🙂🙌. Really pleased tonight legs feeling stronger, minimal knee pain! Feeling good about starting week 4 on Wednesday!

Good job... that’s a third of the plan done! Enjoy week 4... that strength will keep growing and you fitness will rocket.

Hold that thought.. slow and steady and on you go!

Well done over a third of the way there now

[Pianism Graduate]

Fantastic - well done. Really positive that your knee pain isn't an issue. I have to say, mine seems to be a distant memory now - I've actually stopped pausing to steel myself at the top of stairs! Good luck with week 4.

😂 yes I can identify with that feeling at the top of the stairs 😂!!

[Eternal-blue-18]

That’s good news. You must be building up strength in those legs. Do you strap your knee when you run?

I had knee pain & bought a Neo G elasticated knee support from Superdrug (£12.50) which really helped. Its quite thin & very flexible and I really didn't think it was going to do anything but it has really helped.

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to hmgvs]

Thanks for the heads up on that! I had checked on Amazon but there’s so many of them didn’t know which to go for should I need them. Good to have a recommendation on here 👍

[hmgvs Graduate in reply to Cfc55]

look up "neo g airflow knee support medium" they are black -- £9.99 on amazon , cheaper than superdrug!

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to hmgvs]

Perfect, will do, cheers for that 👍

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to Eternal-blue-18]

I haven’t been, but did think if the pain came back I would try some kind of strapping!! Must admit looking back at my runs on Runkeeper I’ve slowed down a good bit, from the first 2 weeks so that seems to have helped a lot so far!

[Mellowyell]

Am at exactly the same point...fingers crossed we both breeze through today’s run! A bit of sunshine and warmer temperatures may help - it’s starting to feel a bit like spring!

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to Mellowyell]

Definitely milder up here in Aberdeen today, and although not running until this evening think the forecast is fine for the day! Hope you have a good one too 👍
