What do you do between runs?

I'm curious to know what others do between runs and if you celebrate the end of each week?

I run/shuffle Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

After week 3 I started back at the gym. I go to 'socially distanced circuit training' on Mondays and Fridays - starts at 6.15 am! I always scan in using the NHS COVID-19 Ap.

During week 4 I purchased my first ever pair of running shoes and after Week 5 I bought myself a houseplant!!

Looking forward to the end of week 6 (can't believe I've got this far) but haven't got any plans for that yet!

Keep safe everyone.

I go for very brisk walks and sometimes do Tai chi (not so often since the classes were cancelled in March). It helps keep the body moving as you tend to stiffen up in the early days of C25k. I would really like to go for a swim . . .

Yes. I'd love to go swimming. They reopened the swimming pool next to the gym on Monday - I've thought about joining but really worried about the spread of COVID. You have to go already to go in the water i.e. swimming kit on under clothes. You leave your kit by the side of the pool. There is no access to showers but have changing rooms on the way out.

Yes our pool is similar, you have to book a slot, and it's a drive away, too much to think about! I did think about the sea in the summer but that's as far as I got, thinking about it, ha ha

I started strength training at the gym so now on my alternate days to running that’s what I get up to.

I too treated myself to a pair of running shoes after week 5. Great purchase and helped get rid of the twinges too.

Keep going! It’s so worth it.

Well done 👏

I'm at the same stage, just finished w6, it's mad how far we've come since the early weeks, and how hard it was! 😂

Now got a week of 25 min runs!!!
