W6R2 by default!

Still not quite 100% after minor surgery on Monday so decided not to set out on a specific C25K session today. Just went out and initially walked briskly for 7 minutes but then felt like running and I actually did the 25 continuous minutes I should have done in the plan, slowly and kept HR below 150 but did it. I then walked back up the steepest hill and finished feeling good. Loved the freedom!

🍏☕️ 🏃‍♀️ Amazing how our bodies respond sometimes unexpectedly.. in your mind you thought you weren’t ready for a run because of recovering from surgery … but your body was ready to go! Very well done for getting out there in the first place & enabling that to happen! However if you need an extra rest day.. take it…you do need to fully recover! Xx
