Just ran 25 mins, sooo happy 😊 apparently I’m a runner now. Those heavy legs though...does that get any easier?! When Jo said I had 5 mins left and I might have heavy legs, she was so right, but I kept on going, woo hoo!

well done!!

it does get a bit easier, but for me it also depends if I have drank enough water (and when) plus what I did the day before (this Saturday I did a load of gardening (my garden is on a slope) and took an antihistamine - cue foggy head and heavy legs.

We had friends over for a bbq yesterday so some pimms was consumed and not enough water πŸ˜† Will definitely up my fluid intake (water) before the next run.

I also had heavy legs today, makes it so much harder doesn’t it! I’ve put it down to not enough water yesterday and intermittently running with my boys on their bikes yesterday!

I’ve never really experienced heavy legs before but guess the lack of water and too much pimms yesterday didn’t help! Will defo drink more water before Wednesdays run πŸ˜†

Lol, pimms sounds good and must be healthy if you had all the extras in it like strawberries etc πŸ˜‚

Well done , drink lots of water 7 days a week even more as it gets warm that should help 😊

Well done. This the point where I really began enjoying the runs. Make sure you drink a couple of litres of water every day to help with the heavy legs.
