Back in the game

After breaking my toe 2 months ago, I started the programme again this morning, from scratch ! It feels so good to be running again (albeit back to baby steps) but I did notice that I found the first run today so much easier than first time round which suggests that even after 8 inactive weeks, there are still some residual benefits.

Thanks to everyone for all their kind comments and it's great to be part of this positive, encouraging community one again :)

Welcome back. Fitness certainly leaves us slower than we can regain it, which is fortunate as it took me 30 years to maximise my unfitness levels 🤣. Happy running.

Well done getting back out there. My last run was six weeks ago due to me twisting my ankle. I was a bit nervous when i went out this afternoon, i only did a short one, i felt like i could do more but didn't want to push my luck. Here's to injury free running.
