W3 R3 I did it at last!

Failed week 3 runs 1 and 2 so was not looking forward to today. It was pouring with rain but I managed it. It wasn't easy but I did it. Not ready for week 4 though so will try another week 3 run next time. My calf muscles are now seizing up, time for a nice warm bath I think

When does this running lark get easier?

Try some calf stretches after your cool down walk to ease the tight muscles.

Good luck with your next run :)

Well it started getting easier for me on W8R3! It was hard between runs W6 and W8. The longer runs were hard on my joints until they seemed to get used to it. Still hard but I love it! :)

Not what you're looking for?
