Went out on my second run after been given the go ahead to run again by the physio! Was lovely weather and I was just so glad to get outside and run off some stress! I did C25K W5R1 (three 5 min runs) and my knee felt fine! Boy have I lost some fitness though, was really puffing at the end of the last 5 minute set! But am determined to get back to where I was before my injury!
I also treated this as a solidarity run too being as it was meant to be the London Marathon today, so I wanted to run in solidarity for all the runners who were expecting to run it (and those whose other races were also cancelled/postponed) and also for the key workers all over the world working during this terrible crisis.
I was aware of the '26 challenge' thing as well so I thought I would try and run 2.6 km but I stopped my watch at the end of my run and it said that I had run 2.59 km! So annoying that I was so close! Well, I ran definitely ran 26 meters so I think I will just take that instead!
