RICE - treatment for strains/injuries (rest, ice,compression,elevate) Hope you don't need that one for a while!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ

10% rule - For increasing distance (after the programme!) it is recommended that you do not increase a long run by more than 10% of your total weekly distance. Many graduates progress to 10k using this method and turning one of their three runs in to their weekly long run. Hope this makes sense?๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to explain. Hopefully I won't need the first and will take my time getting to the second ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜
