Camilicon Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hello all! Nothing like signing up for a 5 mile obstacle course to motivate me to get off my butt! I've completed W1D1. and will do W1D2 tomorrow. I have a tendency to get excited and do to much too soon, so I am mentally prepping myself now to repeat week 1 regardless of how i feel, just as a precaution. Especially because I am running for the first time in 4 years, and am recovering from a torn ankle ligament. I am a nurse and work shift work, 4 on 4 off, so would love some tips about how to balance running with a highly physical job. Also how many days between runs is too many? Looking forward to some accountability buddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hello! Im afraid I cant answer the physical job run balance but I do know that you shouldnt let three days go by without running or some kind of cardio. After that running becomes super difficult haha I speak from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camilicon Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well yesterday would have been the day for W1D2.. But my ankle was still sore, so I went for a nice long bike ride instead. Today I feel great. Totally up for W1D2, but now I'm back at work for my next set. Working 7.30am-7:30pm just doesn't leave any time for running that I can find right now. Not without losing a bunch of extra sleep. Same shift tomorrow. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure something out.

KellyAnn Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Good for you Camilicon, So proud of you. Yes, when you work a shift like that, it is hard to fit a workout in. But, do you sit all day?, walk ?, now that is a great workout too if you are on your feet all day. I am surprised that i can get 4 miles a day in, just walking around my house cleaning, etc.... Keep us posted here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
