Week 3 Run 2: terrorising zombies in the name of science

After two days rest (I had a bit of a backache yesterday) I finally got out there for my next run of my Couch to 5K journey, zombie version.

(Apps I run with during this journey are all laid out in this post healthunlocked.com/bridgeto... )

The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect, and I even did the dynamic calf stretches at the beginning of my route; the ones we learned as part of our collective James Dunne 30-day-improve-your-running-challenge. That is happening over at the Strength and Flex forum currently ( healthunlocked.com/strength... ) but the specific stretch is also on YouTube at tinyurl.com/3j5xutjv

This run - whilst in the storyline annoying a tethered Zombie with my knee lifts - included 5 rounds of one min walking, one minute running, and 10 knee lifts.

Then two sections of eight minutes free-form run-walking divided by a stretching section.

So I can, for the first time in my life, state that I have terrorised a Zombie with my knee lifts in the name of science!

Keep on keeping on, everyone, wether you run with Zombies, fellow runners or just your lovely running self!

Happy Easter

Love your updates. This sounds bonkers but brilliant. Sanjeev is gonna have to step it up in my run later to beat that 😆
