The long journey W9R4

[T2runner]

My first run after graduation, left it 3 days after R3 because of the calf strain. Not looking forward to it, but started off, and was immediately out of breath, so concentrated on my breathing, thought get to 20 mins and that will do, got there and thought get to 25 and it is only another 5 minutes to the end. The beginning of the me as a runner, looking forward to the next 3 to 6 months, consolidation and improvement. May attempt a park run this Saturday, one not far from me that is completely flat but on concrete, or the one that is in my town which is held in a park, but that is commonly called a "brutal park run", so not for me yet!

Now looking at my much unloved rowing machine, may introduce my rear end to that seat for the in between days from running, any tips on that? Thought it would be non impact and good for core strength. Need to improve my back and knock when running, so this may help.

Good for you. 👍

I love the rowing machine. It's a great all rounder with no high impact.

Brilliant - well done!

It's all about the journey for you now. You can mix up styles of run and experiment. Keep going though because you'll only grow stronger and have runs where it all comes together.

Just came across your post a bit late but Just in case it’s of interest, I’ve just dropped a rowing interval workout review in the Strength and Flex Forum. healthunlocked.com/strength...
