Got the fiancรฉ to download the app this evening and we went running together.

It was a feeling like no other - hard, who knew 60seconds could last so long - but so fresh and exhilarating!

Following on from my last post: I took a waterbottle and didnโ€™t I need it! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Maybe I need to increase my water intake throughout the day, I literally just drink tea.... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ

We ran around Bradgate Park.

The views were beautiful!

Iโ€™m not looking forward to how my body will react tomorrow ๐Ÿ™ˆ but I know itโ€™s for the best ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

And at least tomorrow I get to rest

Great job. Those who train together can also swear at the coach together!

Keep the legs loose tomorrow. Get a water bottle on the go, let it get to room temperature and sip all day... other drinks can remain... and you should find a good balance.

Enjoy run two, and any cross training you can manage tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips!

What cross training would you recommend?

The strength and flex plan is good, swim, walk, cycle, yoga, anything that doesnโ€™t involve jumping or running.

Get on. Well done. My water app recommends around 3 litres of water on a training day. Tea counts but itโ€™s not as 100% as water. See โ€˜My Waterโ€™ on iOS.
