I’m back

[Narutorun]

Hi everyone I just did W5R1 again, had to stop for a couple of weeks as my knee was hurting even when not running. But everything went well today. Not so easy to find the time to do my runs in the half term but will be back to normal next week, oh and happy Halloween!! 🎃

Welcome back, take care of that knee still, stretch and strength. Happy running, you’re getting closer to lovely long runs 👍

[Narutorun in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you are there any stretch and stretch exercises you’d recommend?

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Narutorun]

I used the podcasts from this site, go onto the strength and flex forum to find it, alternatively nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... these are great stretches, just found them today. Ran 48 mins, held all stretches 20 sec, legs feel like they did no work 1st thing, but maybe run is now just such an integral part of my day . Good luck

Thanks wow 48 mins! Do your knees hurt often then?

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Narutorun]

Had no knee pain for the whole time I’ve been doing this, only pain was in butt about 5 weeks ago but that’s gone too. Stretching has kept me pain and injury free, that and following the plan with rest days and hydration. If i can do it at 57 you can too.

That’s cool then, my mum wants to start doing it and she 59

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Narutorun]

This plan is for everyone, I’m a spring chicken compared to some runners I know. Tell her to believe in herself, dedicate the time to herself and enjoy the highs you get from a great run.
