After completing WK2R3 and new running shoes I have extremely burning painful knees ankles and lower legs !

No trot tomorrow I think !

Could be result of all the extra exercise or fibromyalgia flare up - was doing so well but i’m it will soon subside 😞

Good luck to all those venturing forward to Wk3 and beyond 💪

Aw give yourself a rest. You will know when you are fit enough to carry on, then carry on. At your own pace, it's not a race and every minute is an achievement in my eyes 👏

Take a few extra rest days and see how you feel. If it makes you feel better you can have more than one rest day between runs. Do what's right for you. Good luck 😊

Thank you Buddy . Trying not to feel too disappointed I couldn’t continue at the same pace . It’s not the end and it’s not a race .

Then I have to remember i’ve never been a runner , i’m 70 and have fibromyalgia- give myself some slack lol.

Good luck to you too
