Hot and bothered!

I always have two days between runs. At my age you need it. Just done w5r1 so 15 mins running. Not bad. next run will be Wednesday, hopefully.

The hardest part is putting your shoes on and hat and sunglasses.

I just have a bit of a niggle on outside of right foot. Its not stopping me running but am wondering what it might be.

🍏Check your laces are not too tight on that side. Well done getting to week 5:1! Glad you are being sensible & running at your own pace & taking the rest days you need! If that foot turns into more than a niggle best to get it seen to.. podiatrist or physio..try some strengthening exercises too lots of options on our Strength and flex forum.

Just done run2 w5 and ankle held out. Ice on it now so. I will see. It was a bit sensitive to the lumps and bumps on the track so back to road running for me.
