Restarting week 2

[Mmcv96]

Haven't updated for a few days, had done 2/3 runs for week 2 last week but had really bad DOMs in my quads from the gym so took a week of recovery to avoid injury, will be back at it again restarting week 2 tomorrow morning

Do make sure that you are putting in some rest day exercise to keep those muscles, injury free...

Did you check out the link given on your first post with so much useful information on keeping that running body in trim

Let us know how your run goes!

DOMS are such a pain-literally! I’ve always found unless they’re really severe, a walk or swim helps drive them away. There’s an interesting article here which describes that as “active recovery”.

You can repeat week 2 if you want, but after only not running for a week, you could carry on with week 3. It’s totally up to you though! Good luck with the next run.
