Week 6 Run 1

Ooh, my ankles hurt on this one. I think this is totally due to the fact that we took the dog out for a 3 hour walk yesterday and my walking boots aren’t the most comfortable πŸ₯Ύ however it’s done and I am here to tell the tale. Hope everyone else has had a good Monday! We went for one of our admin Christmas lunches today and I had a large glass of wine. Can’t say this improved my performance tonight 😟

Hopefully it is only your walking boots that caused the aching, be careful.

Hope you enjoyed your Christmas lunch. Well done you 😊😊

A 7+ mile dog walk did for me back in week 7. Maybe take an extra rest day to rest your aching ankles and get plenty of water drunk too. As you say, you are still here to tell the tale so well done you πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Well done... relax into these longer runs now.. perfect for slow and steady... and do take a peek at our ankle exercises on Strength and Flex too:)

Look after those ankles! I hope it is just your shoes and isn't anything more sinister. Congratulations on starting week 6!

WELL DONE, for doing it though - I chickened out and am repeating last week, not being able to quite believe I had really managed 20 mins πŸ™„.

Have found walking boots a problem in the past too - maybe put a new comfy pair on the Christmas list; that worked for me!!! Cheers πŸ·πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Yes and thanks for that. There’s nothing wrong with repeating a week - anyone might choose to do that to set them straight again. Well done for carrying on abs being committed πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
