Rest day, but wish I was out 😢

9 Replies

I’m only on week 2, but it’s a beautiful evening and all I can think about is how gutted I am that it’s a rest day 😆 I think I’ve got the running bug! Looking forward to tomorrow instead ☺️

You definitely have caught the running bug 🐛, but the number one rule is not to run on consecutive days, go for a walk, cycle ride if you wish to, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 2 tomorrow. 😊

I didn’t do all the rest days. Was just careful not to push myself too far. I enjoyed repeating the runs so I could still stay aligned to the weeks. It’s nice to come back feeling fresh after a rest day though.

Go walking 🚶 😊

Rest days are really important. You could go for a brisk walk instead . Glad your enjoying running. 😊

Enjoy a walk while there is still daylight and autumn weather. I always jump ahead and download the next mp3 file in anticipation

Definitely a nice walk on rest days. Not too far though. I did a brisk walk last week quite a long distance and up and down really steep hills, and couldn't walk anywhere for about 3 days!
