Run 1 week 8

Run 1 week 8 done ✅

I didn’t know if I would get this far as I’ve been besieged with ankle problems which has progressively got worse and I’ve been having 2 or 3 days of in between runs. Today’s run felt good I now think I can do this!

Well done 👍

Just take easy on that ankle. May need to do feet and ankles strengthening exercises. Quite a few on YouTube may give some ideas.

Yes I do them every day. I’ve had physio on them before so I do try and give myself the best chance of avoiding injury. Thanks

As sandrayi says. You've come so far - well done. W8r1 for me tomorrow - trepidatuous and excited at the same time!

You’ll be fine, It was easier (aside from the aches) than I thought. Good luck

Taking more than one rest day is perfectly fine. Many of us have done it during our C25k journeys and it has helped us to stay the course and get to graduation.

Visit The Strength and Flex forum for strengthening exercises for feet and ankles.

Good luck for the last couple of weeks 😊

Ah thanks, yes I’m not in any mad rush to finish, it takes as long as it takes!
