Long time no run!

Going to dust off my running shoes and get back into it. Have been keeping fit with loads of energetic dance classes but of course they have stopped. Don’t want to lose that leg strength and cardiovascular fitness (such as it is!) so Couch25k here I come again! 😊👍

Welcome back. Good to hear that you’ve maintained a good fitness level while away from running, that will help a lot. All you have to do now is some nice conversational paced running to get those legs reconditioned to the running motion... enjoy your journey.

Welcome back and I hope you get the same enjoyment getting back to running as you do from your dance classes.

Thank you so much! Nothing quite like a tap class or a jazz class but at least I can still have the uplifting music 🎧 while running. I find it hard not to do fancy arm movements to the music as I run - would look hilarious! 😂

I think “Jazz hands” while running would be the ultimate cardio workout!😀😀 If you combine tap in your warm down I think you’ve cracked it!!😂
