Week 2 started

[MrsCDN]

Was really sore after finishing the last run of week one, so left it 2 days and felt much better. So started week 2 today and a friend who runs came with me. Had the app on loud speaker. She was really impressed, and realised I could run and sort of hold a conversation 🤭.

Congratulations. I’ve found sometimes having 2 rest days =a much better run next time.

Keep going x

Thank you, felt I was missing my schedule, but am realising I don’t need to beat myself up, And take extra time if needed.

Well done you and you did the right thing leaving 2 days between runs it obviously helped 😊😊

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done.

You should run all of C25K at a pace at which you can hold a conversation.........slow down to make it possible, if needs be.

Well done on starting week 2.

I am doing w1r3 tomorrow morning.

It’s a great feeling finishing the first week. Have surprised myself actually doing this. I’ve had a bit of a health glitch and decided I needed something to focus on. I’ve never run, but seems I do now, after a fashion.

Well done on getting going. It is important to listen to your body, if you need 2 days to recover take it. Pushing it when you’re not ready will reduce your enjoyment and increase the risk of injury.

Huge well done... I have at least two rest days? a week, when I care for small runner in training... my granddaughter... those days count as workout days

Huge well done you...and take the days you feel you need... conversational pace is just right

Well done and good luck with the rest of week 2 👌✌

I find it essential to have 2 days in between. Don't forget to stretch afterwards- really important if you don't want to ache the next day. There's no rush to get to the end, enjoy the journey.

Well done to you. Like others I benefit hugely from more than one rest day. Sometimes it can be more than 2 days and it pays off. Enjoy your next run.
