Well done. I completed run 2 yesterday. Legs and knees are a bit achy this morning which is worrying me although not surprising after two 25 minute runs. On reflection I wondered if the last 15mins were a little fast. If they don’t feel any better by tomorrow I am going to have a couple of extra rest days. I have iced my legs and done a few strength exercises. Going on a short walk later and then spending the rest of the day with them up.

I run better if I go every other day I’m not sure if the different trainers made a difference I’m hoping to get a gait test when I graduate and buy some more 😊

I have good trainers. There is no where local to me that does gait analysis unfortunately. I don’t think the trainers are the problem, I think I ran a bit too fast. Need to do more 🐌 pace next time.

Well done Big_maz !! The end is near( or should I say the beginning) you are well on your way to graduation!!

I completed day 2 today too!! I really wasn’t in the mood but I went and I have found after the first 5 minutes of every run, I think ok I need to finish this! At the moment it’s working, fingers crossed long may it continue 😊
