Day 2 of the James Dunne 7-Day Challenge 🔥🦵

[CBDB]

The short explanations of James Dunne are just such good insights into what is going on in one’s body. I do get a left tight calf at times, so I wonder if this exercise regime will fire up my glutes and help my calves in the future to be a bit supported more. We’ll see. Here we go into the second day of reps.

If you haven’t subscribed for free to James Dunne’s challenge yet, it’s worthwhile doing so ( bulletproofrunners.com/p/7dc ).

So how have you found this routine? Let us know by reply! Can you feel it in your glutes? If not, where? And what , if anything, are you using to balance yourself?

Hi, just completed the routine (did Day 1 as well). Right ankle a bit wobbly, but managed without holding on to anything. ☀️ just come out so I think a little slow jog now 😊

Fabulous! Free standing! I’m not quite there yet! Have fun on your sunny run!

This morning I did Tai Chi, my shoulder exercises, these Day 2 exercises, my pre-run routine, and then a 3.4k fartlek. I was certainly warmed up before I ran!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Gthants]

Yey!!! What a nice pre-run routine!

[skysue16 in reply to Gthants]

Fantastic 😊👍 A great pre run routine - mine consists of lots of faffing which includes getting dog organised, checking backpack for doggie bags & treats, finding shoes, filling water bottle etc 🤣 At least today I did Day 1&2 of these glute exercises 👍

[Gthants Graduate in reply to skysue16]

It’s going to be interesting if [when 😬] I keep up with these exercises to see what difference they actually make to my running. At the moment I have simply done more exercise today, so my muscles feel more tired. That “extra” strength will take time …

[skysue16 in reply to Gthants]

I am sure the exercises will really help. I just find it so hard to be consistent with strength exercises but 10 mins a day is definitely achievable. Everyone on here will be the motivation to keep going 😊

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to skysue16]

Yes, me too. But the one or other exercise “sticks”. I’m still doing one of the leg exercises from the 30day James Dunne challenge, having added it to all my post run/row stretch routines. I’m hoping this one will be added to pre-run routines.

🍏 Well these exercises certainly work 🤣Can feel it in my glutes that’s for sure!! So Day 2 here we go!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Annieapple]

Woohoo! They certainly do!

[Wavy-chick28]

Yep have started and definitely feel something! Although doing a bit of diy too so my body is literally screaming today 😂

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Wavy-chick28]

Oh dear!😅 well done!

[Hedgehogs123]

oh yes, I can feel it in my calves !!😁😁

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Lol! Oh dear. I think you are supposed to feel it in your glutes, not calves. Do you have your knees bent?

[Hedgehogs123 in reply to CBDB]

Whoops bit of a typo there, I did mean glutes, didn't realize I'd written calves!!🤣🤣
