Couple of blisters, soaked but done. Roll on Saturday. The positive mood after is amazing!

Great you've completed r2. Getting soaked is all part of being a runner but not the blisters. Are your shoes fitting ok. 😊

Hello Buddy, hmm im not sure ive used some shoes i already had but they aren't running style exactly. Hope to get something better on Saturday. Also trying to train myself out of heel strike so that could be why. Thanks.

Good. The best way is to try and land midfoot and as softly as possible. It just takes practice . Good luck 😊

Feels good doesn't it? I've come home like a drown rat a couple of times, but by the time you get home, those good feelings just take over
