Week 2 run 3 done ✅

5 Replies

This running should eat easier with time?? I just done my week 2 run 3 and my left calf was tight all the way through run. It specially hurt when I was walking 🤷🏻‍♀️ I slowed right down and it got better. Slower walk helped the run. But over all it wasn’t easy for me. I’m glad I’m sticking to the programme but I really would like to get better. Okay week 3. Here I come 💃🏻

Hope everyone has a brilliant weekend.

You are getting better. Keep the running slow and the walking brisk.

The running is getting easier with time but each week is longer running so you don't really notice your improvement.

Thank you SlowLoris. I’m definitely gonna be slow as I don’t want any injuries so soon (:

Hey Caseofnuts you're doing great don't be to hard on yourself or expect too much. You're only 6 runs in to a 27 run program and even then you'll still be a beginner! I think you will see the difference in week or 4 to 5 but as has been said the runs get longer the challenges remain. So keep it slow and steady you'll be fine. The plan is great and it works. Good luck and enjoy your running

Hi Steviej99. Thank you very much for your reply. I never thought like that about this programme. You right, only 6 out of 27 run. Your message literally opened my eyes 👀

Have a lovely evening ☺️
