So, 4 weeks ago today I did W5R3 but due to severe pain in my ankle had to rest up on the IC for 3+ weeks. ☹️ Was eager to get back into it so on Tuesday (first time out in just over 3 weeks) did W4R1, Thursday I did W5R2 and tonight 4 weeks after the first time I repeated W5R3 and I feel great! 😀🏃Not sure I'm going to get to 5K (run 2.24kmin the 20 mins) but I don't care, I just can't wait to move on to week 6.
So to anyone on the IC, you WILL be back and we've got this! 🏃🙋🏻
Welcome back and pleased you’ve healed, take it steady, 5k can wait we got our first 5k about a month after graduating and it took 52 minutes which is snail 🐌 pace but meant we could keep going, been chipping a minute off here and there and down to 40 minutes, doubt we’ll ever get to 30 but we can dream
Enjoy and good luck
Thank you so much for your reply, yes I think I need to appreciate how long I'm running for and not worry about distance. As you say this will come with time x
By the end of the programme you will probably find you are faster than the beginning but the amazing thing is that whatever speed you can run and run and run 😀and are stronger and happier than before
Absolutely! I thought the 1minute runs were hard in the first week and every time I would look at the next run and think I'm not going to be able to do that but here I am and loving it 😊
It’s flipping addictive
Am I off the IC....?
Finally off the injury couch after 8 months 😊
Off the couch
Off the couch
