1st Rehab run๐Ÿƒ

Not been out since Thursday when I had a slight pull in my hamstring still from my last" proper" run last Tuesday. Rested up over the weekend and was unable to do my Weekly Virtual 5Kโ˜น๏ธ

Decided to visit my local parkrun venue and try a gentle jog to turn my legs over for just one lap (2.5K) as the course is reasonably flat. Thought I'd keep my legs warm so donned a pair of cycling leggings and felt like Instructor57 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ In the end I wish I hadn't as temp was 21C and looked like I'd just come out the shower when I'd finished๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyhow all was good but made sure I did dynamic stretches before my run and a longer warm up than usual. Something to note as the weather gets colder as too easy to pick up a niggling injury. You have been warned!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

2.52K / 18:20 min / 7'17" pace

Well done for all the precautions! Seems like they have paid off ๐Ÿคž

I checked the weather forecast before my early run and decided it was going to be warm even then, so donned my shorts and tee shirt ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good advice about cold weather and potential injuries.

Sounds good to me! Well done for knowing your limits and taking it steady - definitely donโ€™t want to do anything that will put you out for weeks!

I too was caught out by the weather yesterday. Went out in leggings thinking itโ€™ll be cooler now in the mornings but surprisingly it is still very humid and I should of worn my shorts! Looking at the forecast for the weekend I think iโ€™ll need to get them back out!

Glad you are back out there again MontyMooDog and a very sensible shorter run, too to test out your hamstring.

You Parkrun course looks lovely btw - did you see they are talking about restarting at the end of October? It would be lovely but ๐Ÿค”, weโ€™ll see!๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Good point about warming up properly for the colder weather ahead too!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™‚
