Running tips! Found out iv not been jogging as 'lightly' as I should have been 😂😮🏃‍♀️

Wk 3 Run 1! The tip from my trainer today was if I'm bouncing when jogging then I'm not doing it properly & from far away to someone watching it should not be easy to tell I'm running. So I definitely haven't been jogging lightly the past two weeks & noticed a remarkable difference today! 😃🏃‍♀️👍

It's the little things that make a difference.

You're doing great though. Keep at it!

Thank you! I'm really enjoying it! How are you getting on with it?

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to Reachtarget2020]

Happy at the moment. I seem to do my best on dark rainy night.

The program is excellent, sometimes it's just me that needs to kick myself up the bum! But I do!

Aww fab! Its always worth going for it, even when you dont feel like it, I always feel better after a run! Keep up the good work! 👍😃🏃‍♀️

The energy you spend going up and down is better spent going forward.

Enjoy 👍

Definitely! I felt more energised after this run and felt the time go quicker, whereas before I kept thinking "how much longer!!??" So I'm pleased that I know what was affecting the running and that I can correct it! 😊

I can remember feeling *so* disappointed when Laura on the podcasts told me not to bounce.

[Reachtarget2020 in reply to GoogleMe]

I was definitely disappointed, just because I thought I was being really good not 'slacking off', 😂😂 never mind I know better now! 😊👍🏃‍♀️

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to Reachtarget2020]

Ah, it's not that you are slacking off, if anything the reverse, your energy is going into up and down instead of focussed on propelling you forward, if that makes sense. It's just inefficient (as I understand it)

[Reachtarget2020 in reply to GoogleMe]

Yep! She said bouncing up and down is just wasting the energy you need to keep going! 🤦‍♀️😊 lesson learned! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Going to keep at it!
