Week 6 Run 2 done

[simoz]

As a 50 year old smoker, with metal pins attaching my leg to my hip, I'm so happy to have got this run under my belt. I saw a lot's of posts on here about the difficulty of the runs in weeks 5 and 6. Really went for it today, on both 10 minute runs, and feel glad I did. Definitely looking forward to doing some longer runs over the next few weeks.

This C25K thing is brilliant. Hip-op don't stop

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

I'm finding doint the NHS strength and flexibility course is also helping me. I hate off days.

It's a really nice way to get back to fitness.. I chose Sarah Millican as my voice coach, she helped me.
