Withdrawal

[Bluecat9]

Why does nobody warn you before you take up jogging about the withdrawal symptoms on recovery days. I want to run! 🏃🏽‍♀️

The number 1 rule of C25K is not to run on consecutive days, you can do other excersises or go a good walk, go a bike ride, yoga but not run, withdrawal symptoms, hmmmm😊

[Bluecat9 in reply to AlMorr]

I did go for a good brisk walk, but I would like to take up yoga, though I’m not too sure where to start o that as there is nowhere round here that does yoga classes. Looks like YouTube for me

[RedBrickCamper in reply to Bluecat9]

Try Yoga with Adrienne on You tube. She's very good. Lots of beginner stuff and yes I would recommend yoga - I'm going to be doing some tomorrow on my in between day

[Bluecat9 in reply to RedBrickCamper]

Thank you RedBrickCamper, I will have a look.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to RedBrickCamper]

I agree she is brilliant and so good to follow...and it is free. What is not to like!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

That's what I do, yoga from YouTube, try ".The Perfect 3 minute Plank Challenge" with Tom Holland

[Bluecat9 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr, will look at that later

I’m thinking the exact same thing this morning. I’m going for another run 🏃‍♀️ today x sod it. Do it mun. Just not all the time 😂

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Aqua-girl]

Do watch out. Running produces tiny tears in the muscles that need time to recover. It’s part of the strengthening process but too much, too soon can bring injury.

[Aqua-girl in reply to Granspeed]

I’ve decided against it now. Il wait till tomorrow. I’m now getting on my exercise bike 😂 then some yoga x

How to stop yourself is to remember this: you don't get fitter on running days, you get fitter on rest days as your body recovers and prepares itself for the next stressful event!

Swimming is great on rest days, I've just got back from the pool.

I got this so badly last week, I ended up doing another run I have a core exercises spreadsheet that I should be doing on rest days but I wanted to go outside as it was nice and sunny, naughty!

[Katnap Graduate]

You're not from Buxton are you? Anyway, I'd prefer to sleep.
