4K at last

[Yorki_Girl]

3 weeks after graduating managed to get to 4K in 32 minutes (which was this weeks milestone) noticing that my ankles have ached this last week... they don’t normally is this a running gait or surface issue. Haven’t changed my route.

Fantastic! 👏👏👏 Every time you get out and run for 30 mins or more is an achievement I’d say. Sorry to hear about aching ankles though. Only a sports physio would be able to get to the bottom of that...but, I wonder if your shoes are supportive enough? Running shops will be open soon - if you feel comfortable going to a shop, and have one locally, it might be worth chatting with a shoe expert?

Rest up for a bit, and maybe look up some exercises to help strengthen your ankles. Hope they feel better soon. 👍

Take a look at HotUK Deals, there is running shoes on there every day

I started out running with some old decathlon trainers, my legs were so sore the first few runs. I bought some Adidas trainers that were quite heavily reduced and they support me great, ankles and knees have never been sore.

I think Puma have a decent sale online currently

Hi and congratulations! Sounds like you’re doing great. Most of the decent running shoe brands like Brooks and ASICS will have a running gait test on their websites where you answer a load of questions and they make a recommendation of the best shoes for your gait. My Mrs (Brooks) and myself (ASICS) have both benefited from this during lockdown. Once you have the recommendation you can shop around to get the best deal.
