Well that’s run number 2 done and dusted.

I think it was a little easier this time. Although my legs were still a little sore from run 1 on Friday, they don’t seem so bad now.

So far so good.

Congratulations, so far so good, well done on completing run 2 of week 1, welcome to the forum, take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, onwards and upwards to run 3 of week 1

Your body needs time to adjust to the running but trust the plan! Well done 👍🏼

Me too! Glad it feels easier.I, on the other hand, felt a bit more achy this time round but I was working today as well. Lots of standing up and moving around.

Here’s to run 3. Keep me posted. X

Well done SoosieSoo! Lots of water and post-run stretches will help those legs ease out and relax.

Yes thank you. I looked at the link you sent me and did the stretches when I came home. Feeling better already. X
