W2R1

Just done W2 R1. Wasn’t as bad as I thought and think I’m slowly building my stamina. Think it was my hurting feet that was the worst bit! 👟

Well done. 👏

Make sure your laces aren't tied up too tightly and try to land mid foot, rather than on your heals, roll through your foot and spring off from the ball. Aim to keep each foot on the ground for as little time as possible. 👍 Might help. 🤷‍♀️

Thankyou. Will try them techniques and see how I get on 😃

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done.

What are you wearing on your feet?

[Hidden in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thankyou. Just some Karrimor running shoes. They weren’t massively expensive so may need to invest in some others. Will see how I go

[Speedy60 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Your running shoes should be at least a half size, if not a whole size larger than your normal shoes. That may also be causing you problems.

[Hidden in reply to Speedy60]

Thankyou. I have a larger size than my normal shoe size. They did feel really comfortable when I put them on. Wondering if it’s more about how I’m running. Will see how I go later

Well done, I knew you'd be fine! 💪

We're at the same stage, I'm doing w2r2 today. Good luck with your next run! Let us know how your feet are feeling 👣👣

[Hidden in reply to Beatlesforever]

Good luck! Did W2R2 yesterday. My feet/shins were hurting again but breathing is getting better 🙂

[Beatlesforever Graduate in reply to Hidden]

That's great! But yeah, watch out for your shins and feet, maybe get new shoes or check out some of the guidance on running technique?

My run went ok today even though it was tough running against the wind on my way back 😣

Good luck with your next one!

[Hidden in reply to Beatlesforever]

Glad your run went ok... sort of! 🤣 thankyou yes think I might need to invest in some more expensive ones, dare I say it! 😬

[Beatlesforever Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Perfect excuse to treat yourself 😉
