W7r3 ๐ŸŒโœ…made it !

Well thatโ€™s a result another week โœ…d so onward to w8 !! I was slower today but after the first 10 mins my calves stopped burning. Is there any magic to stop calf burn Iโ€™m doing every exercise I know !! Stretches calf lifts etc !! Drink 3 litres a day water that is !!

Still after all these weeks I am truly thrilled to be able to snail my way through 25 mins. Itโ€™s not pretty itโ€™s slow but Iโ€™m out there doing it. Doubts creep in around the 15 min mark but then Jo tells me Iโ€™ve done 20 mins only 5 to go so I push through. Then I get home and collapse in a heap after a not brisk 5 min walk home !! BUT then the glow of satisfaction kicks in !! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚Friday done drinks tonight yay !!!!

See everyone on Monday !! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Well done Delgirl82 I too finished W7r3 this morning - so happy to have completed but found this run harder and my calves hurt fairly early on but improved. I hung on in there until Jo said only 5 mins to go - whoopee nearly there - just kept on going โœ…๐Ÿฅต. Here we go onwards to week 8 - whoโ€™d have believed what we are achieving ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

Fantastic!! Well on your way now, you've got this! No advice about calves, sorry though I know some people use calf rollers, no idea if they're any good though?

Another week down, well done. Another milestone achieved ๐ŸŽ‰.

I know what you mean I still suffer with my calves too, have to do a 10 min warm up walk and it generally takes about 10-15mins in before they ease ๐Ÿ™. So when you find the magic trick let me know ๐Ÿ˜†.

My run 3 tomorrow. Enjoy your well earned ๐Ÿพ.
