Feeling well again!

[Heti]

Finished W7R2 yesterday. My stamina is back and I’m feeling confident for next run. My advice, as an older runner, take time to build up energy by re-running weeks for as long and necessary. We’re all on different journeys and goals for our health and fitness!!!

Well done you..listening to our body and taking notice!But I don't know whether I agree with your describing yourself as an older runner....that would make a fair few of us , very old... and me?

At 73....?

Ancient!🤣

On you go, slow and steady x

I am a big fan of listening to your body! Strength exercise on non run days also helps x

Good advice for younger runners too! I often find training plans feel a bit relentless and I get tired. I usually insert a “drop down” week where I do shorter runs and recover before getting back on the plan. That works really well for me. I still feel like I’m progressing and tge lighter week feels like a treat which is such a mental boost!

The great thing about C25k (and most plans really!) is it’s a helpful tool and not a set of rules that must be obeyed in all circumstances. Adapting to fit your body is always best.

Enjoy your runs your way! ❤️
