Haska Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 So today was supposed to Week 2/Day 1. But I didn't sleep well Sunday night: My right ankle, knee, and hip all hurt. This was the leg I was concerned about when I started C25K. I was ready to give up. But I decided to take another rest day today and see how I did. I managed to get 10,000 steps yesterday and am on track to do that again today . . . and I'm feeling MUCH better. So, after reading over the advice I was given about my first week, I'm going to give it another go tomorrow. I am planning to repeat week #1 and run at the slower speed as I talked about on Sunday's post and see how it goes. I will keep you updated!!

RedMustRun Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I have found that paying attention to my post workout by hydrating and intensive stretching really helped some of my muscle issues (when i ran cross country in school and again now that i'm training for my 5k). My favorite routine is Runners Yoga, a sequence i found on Pintrest with detailed explinations and photos. Don't let the term "yoga" be intimidating...its a simple series of stretches i did on my living room floor with the cat trying to burrow in my hair. Good luck and serious KUDOS for listening to your body!! Haska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Exactly what RedMustRun said, yoga is the best especially when youre just beginning running! I think it was a good call resting that leg more. Keep us posted and good luck on your week 1 take 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
