Week 2 completed

[Marcb316]

Just completed run 3 of week 2. My cardio is feeling massively improved as I don’t tire during the run (was puffing and panting like a dog my first week😂) and my recovery is really improved. Only issue I still have is I get lactic acid build up/ cramp in my lower right leg about 3/4 of the way through each time. From reading on here it could be due to me not drinking enough. I am terrible at drinking enough especially on non running days. My footwear are brand new Adidas running shoes that I had measured so it’s not my footwear. Any ideas?

Good hydration is necessary every singe day...on the day before a run or a run day is not enough...and as the weather warms up even more so...

Warm up really well and make sure you do your post run stretches too.... take it slow and steady and see how you go
