I am not continuing with the programme. Once I stopped, to go on holiday, I felt some pain in my right knee which took a whole week to go, along with a slightly ‘out’ ankle. Enough to make me listen … Continue reading →

Day 12 was 8 lots of 2 minutes. My calves were crampy and heavy, so it wasn’t so much fun. Day 13 (today) is a rest day. I am halting the programme for a while, taking what would be Day … Continue reading →

Today is 3 minute runs, five of them, with the usual 1 min walks in between. I am getting into the flow of it. I feel I could easily carry on beyond the three minute beeps of my watch, but … Continue reading →

I just read that the camber of the road can cause injury, with feet having to compensate for the tilt in the road. I’m running in the middle of the lane from now on! I do feel more strain in … Continue reading →

Off off off. Thank friday for that!

Today was slacker – 6 x 2 minute runs with 1 min walks after each. The usual warm up and cool down – I take 5 mins for those. Just as well it was easier – I had very little … Continue reading →

Today was different: Run 2 mins/Walk 1 min five times, then Run 1 min/Walk 1 min five times, with the usual 5-10 min warm up and warm down walks. No rain this time, bright sunshine and gorgeous solitary clouds hovering … Continue reading →

The answer is: yes! Today is a ‘rest day’. I am kinda disappointed but it is probably for the best, long term. It’s easy to push it, so I intend to follow the programme to the word. My legs are … Continue reading →

Achy of shin and ankle, I didn’t much feel like going out today. It was quite a stressful day and all I wanted to do was veg out after work. But that’s what I always do! So I went out … Continue reading →

I decided I’d like to do a bit more exercise than the odd surf trip, and gentle yoga every other day. The surf trips are intense exercise but then they are over and so the workouts stop. I bought a … Continue reading →
