I am aware I've not been on the forum a lot over the past week (mad busy!) but I just wanted to give those who are interested a quick update on the running (well SLOW jogging πŸ˜€).

I have now repeated Week 5 Runs 1 & 2 twice each and there's no sign of injury, so my next run (on Friday) I'm going for the Week5 Run 3 full 20 minutes that broke me last time. Knees, hips and spine all currently holding up well, so here goes!!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Slow and steady is absolutely perfect... just take it gently and that run will be just fine... Know it, believe it and it will be done :) Well done you!

Thank you all for the support πŸ™ I managed NEARLY 20 minutes, interrupted by a two minute power walk in the middle when I got quite breathless and was having a bit of a cough (covid legacy πŸ˜’).

All in all it went OK though I think and I plan to rest 2/3 days then move on, or maybe repeat this run until I can manage it comfortably.

Onwards I go πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

That’s a fantastic update! The covid cough can hang around for a while. Hope yours disappears soon.

That run is always a milestone but especially so for you today! Really well done ❀️
