Morning you lovely people😻

I only graduated last week and didn’t run for 7 days (due to work reasons) and can’t seem to run for the 30mins without stopping also I’m getting pins and needles in my right foot which is make it very uncomfortable 😣

Any suggestions please ?

Are your laces too tight ?? Your feet will expand when running. More so in this heat😁

Socks are the same Style I always wear, shoe are a couple of weeks old but hard the same problem with old shoes, did think I might have done them up to tight so readjusted them but still the same

Firstly, congratulations 🥳 on your graduation! A massive achievement and proof that you can run 30 minutes!

Re: pins and needles - my first thought was tour laces being too tight? If you can rule this out then maybe check with a Dr? Or physio?

Are your shoes a good half size or more bigger than your normal footwear?

You lose no significant condition in the first two weeks of non running, so it may be other factors preventing you from managing to run for thirty minutes .......a common occurrence for new graduates, hence the Consolidation Club healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.
