Thirty day yoga challenge ...

[linda9389]

... if I post it here, it might happen! Last night I potted that Adrienne has a thirty day challenge, with a different youtube video for each day. I've been enjoying her runners yoga after my runs and thought this might be a good way to try a bit more variety. No idea whether it will get more difficult, but day 1 is done and was nice and easy, just as she said it would be ✔. Anyone else fancy trying it?

Tomorrow is on my plan as strength. The weather looks OK though so I know I will be tempted to cycle instead. So I'm saying it right here, right now ... tomorrow is my strength day 😂😂😂. Please hold me to account 🤦‍♀️

I'm watching you! 🤓

I'm not sure about being able to do every day, but I'll have a look at it at least - thanks Linda!

[linda9389 in reply to roseabi]

I'm assuming none of the videos are more than 30 minutes long - though I haven't actually checked!

[Jazzyrunner]

I’ve done this, a year or two ago, and loved it. If you’ve done her runners’ yoga and enjoyed, I guess you will too!

[linda9389 in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Ahh, that's a brilliant bit of encouragement from the off. Thanks for that

[Jazzyrunner in reply to linda9389]

Hope you get as much out of it as I did! Let us know how you get on 👍🏻

[linda9389 in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Haha. That would keep me accountable

[Oldfloss Administrator]

I'll take a look..And thank you for this..I shall be watching you closely! X

Day 6 “six pack abs” now that burned more than any of my runs so far 😂 but I love her videos, and they definitely have helped my running! Enjoy!

[linda9389 in reply to PurpleFish59]

Uh oh? Are you serious? What have I done????? (sneaks off to check if this is for real or a cruel joke ....)

[Fabulous450 in reply to linda9389]

🤔 Hi Linda, I’m nursing a hamstring issue that’s still there after my run today, but plan to keep doing my yoga and strengthening until I’m able to get back out there and run. It sounds as though this may be a bit of a push at the moment. I hope I will only need a couple of days of rest. I’ll have to do something much gentler. But please don’t let that put you off! I just need to be a bit careful! Sorry! 🥴

I’m a good cheerleader though! ❤️

[linda9389 in reply to Fabulous450]

I read your posts backwards 😀. It's great you decided to try after all. Do be careful with the hamstring, but some gentle stretching may be helpful. Take care and good luck 🙂

[linda9389 in reply to PurpleFish59]

😥 it's true

[PurpleFish59 in reply to linda9389]

This wasn’t meant to put you off, the plan is really well put together and for every tricky session that pushes you there is a gentler or shorter one that allows your body to recover. I would recommend it to anyone!

[linda9389 in reply to PurpleFish59]

Phew 🤣. Thanks for the heads up - so I won't assume it's going to get more and more difficult then 🙂

[PurpleFish59 in reply to linda9389]

No it definitely goes up and down in terms of difficulty 🙂 good luck with it!

[Fabulous450]

Hi Linda!! Sounds like a good challenge for me. I’ve been doing Adrienne’s pre and post run yoga too! 😃I’ll have a look tomorrow. Thank you!! 🤗❤️

[linda9389 in reply to Fabulous450]

It would be great to have company if you fancy it 🙂

[Fabulous450 in reply to linda9389]

Yes Linda, why not?!! Let’s do it!! 30 day’s to yogi! 💪🏽😂❤️

[linda9389 in reply to Fabulous450]

👍👍👍

[Fabulous450 in reply to linda9389]

I’m still on to do 30 days Linda! Had to do an alternative adaptation due to the hamstring issue, but I’ve done Day 1! ✅ 🤗❤️

[linda9389 in reply to Fabulous450]

Brilliant! Well done! Do take care though, be nice to that hamstring 🙂

[Fabulous450 in reply to linda9389]

I feel pretty good. But will definitely listen to the body! Onwards for Day 2 for you isn’t it Linda? Go for it! I’m right there, just a little sensible tweak! We can do this! 💪🏽❤️

[pianoteacher]

I've been meaning to do one of these! I always follow her videos and love them. I'm hoping she'll do a new series in January that I can commit to x

[linda9389 in reply to pianoteacher]

What's wrong with November? 🤣

[pianoteacher in reply to linda9389]

I'm procrastinating 🤣😂 To be fair in January I'll have the first week off which should get me started without any excuses x

[linda9389 in reply to pianoteacher]

Sounds good! I may join you 🙂

[UnfitNoMore]

Ok... I’m game... I’m not sure I’ll do all 30 but I’ll give the first one a go tomorrow.

Strength day tomorrow... got it! We shall nip round and remove your handlebars just in case 🤣

[linda9389 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Excellent (not the bike bit obvs - although if you could adjust the brakes a bit ... )

[Knittingrunner]

Thank you for this it looks like something I might have a go at. Not sure I’d manage every day though. 😊

[linda9389 in reply to Knittingrunner]

I guess it doesn't really matter if it's every day. Not sure I will either, but I definitely like structure and plans for my running, so thought it might work with yoga too. Time will tell 🤞

[Knittingrunner in reply to linda9389]

It certainly worth a trial. I’ve just committed to 2 strength sessions a week so was thinking of adding yoga into the mix too on another day. So I might just spread them across a few weeks instead. First I have to get in the strength swing first. Thank you. 😊

[linda9389 in reply to Knittingrunner]

Sounds like a plan! Good luck!

[Walkmore]

Thanks for the heads up, I will have a look and see what like.... good luck for the rest of the challenges😁

[linda9389 in reply to Walkmore]

Thank you! I've not done much yoga so hopefully it will be fun 🙂

[Walkmore in reply to linda9389]

It’s great to try new things. You never know you might be bitten with the bug and keep it up beyond the 30 days 🧘‍♂️

[Hidden]

I fancy trying it. I used to do yoga regularly but stopped a bit back. As I can't run at the moment due to a knee problem, possibly runners knee, I need to do something in the meantime. Hold me to account too!

[linda9389 in reply to Hidden]

Brilliant! Maybe the yoga will help, but do be careful and don't do anything that's painful! Good luck 🙂

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

I'm going to give it a go later today. Hopefully it's not too challenging but I'll take it easy.

[linda9389 in reply to Hidden]

Easy is the title of day1 😍

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

Sounds promising 😊

[Mummycav]

Ooo, linda9389 ...might not be able to fit it in every day but I will certainly try x

[linda9389 in reply to Mummycav]

That seems a common response - and I like it as it's providing me with a free pass if I don't manage it one day 😍😍😍

[Mummycav in reply to linda9389]

You'd be forgiven anyway linda9389 ...we know life gets in the way sometimes x

[linda9389]

Well I did day 2 AND I did my strength routine too. The power of accountability 💪💪💪. Thank you

I'll report back on Monday on the yoga challenge (unless I have to admit defeat before then in which case it may be sooner 🙄🤣)

[cheekychipmunks]

I did one of her 30 day yoga challenges last year and loved it. The one I did had some fairly hardcore routines, but they were usually followed by a gentle one the next day.

I think I’ll do this latest one, but I’ll start in a couple of weeks’ time. 😀

[linda9389 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

It's an old one Cheeky, so may even be the one you've tried already. Today's one sounded easier - I'll find out later 😍

[cheekychipmunks in reply to linda9389]

Oh great, have fun then! I’ll definitely get going again soon too. ❤️

[Sadie-runs]

Linda, I’m doing it too. Day 2 was quite tough 😱, but I enjoyed it anyway! xxx

[linda9389 in reply to Sadie-runs]

I agree - I wobbled a lot in day 2. Just done day 3 and enjoyed that more. I'm not very clued up on yoga so am checking the foundation videos afterwards too just to check I'm not totally off the mark. Glad I started it ... for now at least 😍. Hope you enjoy it

[Sadie-runs in reply to linda9389]

Yoga was my passion before I started running, so it’s lovely to get back into it. ❤️ But, it is deceptively hard! Looking forward to day 3. 👍😁
