OMG I just finished week 6 run 3!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I never thought I would be running non-stop for 25 minutes a couple of months ago. I've hated running since school days but lockdown forced me out of the swimming pool and to invest in a semi-decent pair of running shoes. After a false start in week 1, when in going to quickly I knackered my calf muscle, here I am! Officially a runner it seems ๐Ÿ˜€

Who would have thought it?

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER as well as a swimmer, I feel sorry for the swimmers, unlike us runners we can still run whereas the swimmers have not swam for more than two months and like you have taken up running.

Onwards and upwards to week 7.

Thanks!

I think someone should invent a C25K equivalent for the water. We will all need it as we will be so out of practice by the time we are allowed back!

Good point of relearning to swim, I don't think there is a equivalent swimming app as there is to running, nor cycling app either, I am not sure when swimming pools will resume.
