Parkrun

Andy12345 said:
agony, ive sat around all day, any movement is painful and forget the stairs, i just struggled to asda to try and loosen up, i look like charlie chaplin when i walk lol, i have a huge blister on the side of my second toe that unlike a blister is deep red rather than white, hoping im better tommorow, it feels like having the flu when you ache all over, thinking about it, when i did the 20 mile race i was much better at 20 miles than yesterday, and i did that slower at the start, i suppose there is a good reason everyone says start slow, i could kick myself but it would hurt lol

Gentle exercise this week and stretch. You will recover quicker the more you rest. I just banged out a 57 min hilly 10k which surprised me but did very little last week

And a really gentle recovery run as soon as you can (although that sounds like it might be a few days away).

it is pressure having it looming for sure, i may even try some zen running (without timing or measuring the distance) i will need a reason to get me up after work though :) too easy to sit and watch the telly me thinks

Yay!! It's much more fun when you have someone to run with - my hubby started first, then I went with him to keep him company and now I'm hooked!
