I developed some calf issues over the last couple of weeks , so I took it easy for a week. Leg fine again, sun was shining , beautiful day to get back on track. After completing a 20 minute run , run 1 this week seemed easy enough. But with having taken the week off running energy levels were a little low. Quite scary how quickly they can go downhill π. It really does make a difference when having a longer break between runs. But determination got me all the way to the end π. Now looking forward to the next challenge. π
Week 6, run 1: I developed some calf issues over... - Couch to 5K
Week 6, run 1
Yes I agree that determination gets you to the end, if you are off running for a short time you lose momentum to run, but what I do is to put on one of the earlier weeks of C25K, I. e, week 3 or 4 and run that rather than go back to running week 1.
Great job... that run catches a lot of people out so itβs not all down to your break... enjoy run 2
Well done completing W6R1. Donβt be alarmed, itβs definitely not just your time off. Itβs a notorious bogey run and itβs renowned for being way harder than it appears, especially after the euphoria of running for 20 minutes at the end of W5.
Take R2 lovely and slowly and youβll be fine. Then itβs all long runs all the way to the podium with no pesky intervals to interrupt you! πββοΈππ
Well done.. and the thing is, even with injury you can maintain your fitness by upping of your core strength exercises on your rest days
