Just completed wk3 run 1.

Bit worried at first but had no problems with the step up to 3mins,really enjoyed it feeling stronger daily.

Noticed a few new aches after in my thighs but i suppose that means it's working!!😁

Well done.

Stretching immediately after every run, nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... while muscles are still warm and supple, pulls out contractions, avoiding carrying tensions into the next run and also improves recovery by improving blood flow, as recommended in the guide to the plan.

Many people do not hold their stretches for long enough or put enough effort in. Hold post run stretches for 30 seconds and make sure the pull is strong enough to be on the verge of discomfort.
