[MakingTheMost]

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I managed to post something, but I've been reading all your inspiring and amazing posts - they are soooo encouraging! 🤓

Yesterday I completed W5 R2!!

I couldn't believe how fantastic I felt afterwards. When I heard Laura say 'just 60 seconds left' I couldn't believe it, I was happily mooching along!

For me it is real progress and since I started the dynamic stretches prior to running and static stretches post running in W2 (touch wood) my left knee has been fine! Thanks to brilliant advice!! Thanks!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🏃‍♂️

Great progress!Good to hear the Dynamic pre run and Static post run excercises are helping .

I swear by them.

Enjoy the rest of the program 👍

Keep running, keep smiling.

That’s great! I had a knee problem before starting this program which put me off starting but since completing it I can say my knee problem has gone! Building up muscle around the joint strengthens and stabilises so keep going.

I love all the help and guidance on here. I want to try dynamic stretches before my next run, where do I find them please?

Hi!! Here's a section from the Healthunlocked FAQs...healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

"One of the best ways to reduce injury risk and avoid carrying muscular tension into the next run is to make sure you do STATIC STRETCHES immediately after each and every run, while muscles are still warm and supple. I use these after every single run and swear by them

These stretches should not be used on cold muscles before a run. There is a suggested link between pre run static stretching and injury.

Stretching before a run should be DYNAMIC STRETCHES , because muscles are not necessarily warmed......runnersworld.com/ask-coach-...

I found these really help me me...runnersworld.com/training/g...
