W3D3 done

This morning seems like such a long time ago! I had to think hard if I really had gone running this morning but I know I did.

As usual, it took a while to get into the swing of things. The first 90 second run had consistently not been fun this week. But once I settle in, it's much better.

This morning, I noticed I something about my stride. After my right foot touches the ground, when it goes back up it can sometimes slightly kick/touch my left calf. It's not very hard impact and doesn't happen in every stride, but I noticed it a few times this morning. Any tips on what to do?

Happy running :)

Well done fabulous mindset. Are you running to fast do you think ? Maybe the kick back reason ?

I'm running (jogging?) quite slowly. But I'll look at my pace tomorrow and see if going any slower makes a difference.

Have you ever had a gait analysis? May be worth it!

I never have! Maybe it is something I look into, thanks for the idea!
