Week 2
Week 2 start - the penny dropped reading a novice runners blog last night - poor woman after 4 weeks training with 'couch to 5k program' was stricken with a very painful knee injury - still thinking I am 21 my body has been forcing my 'natural' pace. Heed advice methinks - those pains in my right calf and left shin should not be ignored - Im old school - Alf Tupper and Zatopek - but i now fear shin splints and have slowed down - bingo - the pains have dissappeared - need to build up slowly - rewards will come later. sticking with 20mins walk run - aiming to run for solid 20mins after 6 weeks. Note to self buy some sports socks today - had to run in soiled socks today - fast route to athletes foot - duh!
