Meant to do week 2 run 1 yesterday but too 'tired' from Friday evening then the afternoon flew past. So rather than the 2 day rest I plan starting at the beginning of each week i am only giving myself a day rest so not to fall behind. Found the extended time tough, my Achilles area is aching on the left foot and a bit of the calf, I hope this passes and relates to the 'new' running shoes I bought. Anyway i managed it so all good and on track Cant imagine how i will get through this but the inspiration from other posts keeps me going!

Thanks that is very helpful. Doing the exercises since your post, I ruptured a calf muscle on that side years ago doing nothing but a sharp turn but it took ages to heal, forgot about it until now. Will take extra care! thanks

I wondered what I was going to read when I saw "naughty day" lol.
Well done for getting out there.

Well done, but if that Achilles is hurting I would take extra rest days, not fewer.
Not what you're looking for?
