Week 9 Run 3 completed

Hello all

Well 27 runs, 27 completed, a few were touch and go in the beginning with tight calves. I realised early on to go even slower than i was going.

This allowed my legs to calm down and cope with me jogging (I think jogging is pushing it!) At the start my jogs were slower than my walking pace, but that allowed my legs to get used to me moving!

My intention going forward is to run one long slow run (w9 r3) adding 10% per week, one run of week 2 slowly trying to go faster each week and the third will be a 20 minute run each week trying to go a bit faster.

Good luck to all.

Regards

Stephen

Congrats. Be flexible with your plan. Don't be afraid to flex it if you find it too tough or even too easy.
