W4R2. Feeling great

[Rigpig]

Run this morning went great, no issues at all and for anyone with knee worries I highly recommend a good brace. I even sprinted* a little bit at the end of the second 5 minute segment!

* Disclaimer, sprint is a relative term. Ussain Bolt has nothing to worry about just yet 😁

Well done!

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

🤣 I love that we all have our own run and sprint speeds and we all celebrate every achievement. Well done

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Great , sounds like a brilliant run Rigpig. 😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

That’s good to hear

Well done Rigpig, you appear to be flying through this, that's brilliant! I'm still a bit (further) behind you but just imagine me nipping at your heels whilst I try to catch up!

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Alast]

Going on Holiday over Christmas and New Year and I'm pretty sure there is a 5 day segment where I won't be able to run, you might be able to catch me up

[Alast in reply to Rigpig]

Thanks for laying down the gauntlet, hopefully that challenge will spurr me on, time will tell...

Well done. I had a 'sprint' too this morning. Since graduating I've tried to have one longer very slow run, one short run with 'sprints', followed by one 5k run the best I can manage. Too early to judge progress yet, but I'm loving it.

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

I'm constantly amazed by how much I'm loving it. I honestly would never have seen myself as a runner, I've had serious attempts at gym workouts before and was very successful with that about 7 years ago until I went to work in Iraq for a while and it just fizzled out. But running has never been something I thought I could do and even less enjoy

well done....good to hear

[Morgan007]

That's really good to hear 👍🏻

[shrinkingjaz Graduate]

Massive congratulations! Hope your knee still behaves 😊

[Speedy60 Graduate]

I have a friend who suffers from SAD and she dreads this time of year. I think I get from running what she gets from sunshine. I'm trying to persuade her to give C25k a go after Christmas, just to see if it can improve her mental health.

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

My happiness level is going through the roof, people are commenting on it!

[Run46 Graduate]

Good job, you're half way there 👍...keep on sprinting 🏃‍♂️👏

It's wonderful reading that your choice of knee brace worked out and is providing relief during your runs. There are many braces addressing different issues relating to the causes of knee pain and hitting a home run randomly deciding on a brace was very fortuitous. If in the future your pain should return, obtaining professional medical intervention might be advisable to prevent possible additional damage.

[RunningMigster Graduate]

Haha, I've done that same 'sprint'.

Makes us feel good and that's all that matters.
