Week 1 Run 2

It went ok, I tried to run slower and walk faster, also tried Japanese Slow jogging stance, I cannot tell as yet if it’s easier on joints, but being aware of posture and looking far ahead does help.

I don’t know about endorphins, but , like the first run, I experienced a huge sense of relief on completion 🤣🤣, i guess it’ll have to do for now...

Well done. It takes time for the love to grow... but you can be proud of finishing each run in the meantime

You’re on your way. Well done. That Japanese Slow Jogging rescued me & I think you’ll be amazed where you can get to. Stick out the first few weeks and you’ll get your reward.

But beware of Running Addiction - very easy to catch and there’s a lot of it about on here! 😄
