Week 6 run 3

Think I was a little premature setting out this morning, just 5 mins into the run I felt the need for the toilet, must be all the movement, I got up to just before 20 mins and my left calf started to ache so will have to go back to that run again and hopefully learn from it, leave it a bit later in the day for one, it was a bit of a cold start, and maybe to eat something an hour or 2 before hand and plenty of water, this now feels like a challenge just to get past this point but I’m determined to do so

You are doing so well, i found as the runs got longer i started even slower so i could keep going to the end, that may help with the aching calf, i pulls a calf muscle back in december and when i could run again i went slower than ever while feeling if it was ok

This plan is about time

Good luck for the next run
