Whats up ladies, lads, and nonbinary comrades!

Sorry I was a bit late today. Been pretty busy.

Last week's thread

I finished my first week strong personally. Its been getting better every day. Week 2 will hopefully continue this trend.

How about you guys? Any major successes? Failures? Funny stories to share?

    Scared for c25k w5d3 that I'm doing this week lol. But still optimistic. I've been adding 5 min of extra jogging at the end many days already. Shin splints are holding me back a bit...

      Stretching really helps with shin splints in my experience. Just take it easy when you arent running and hopefully they should clear up. Stay strong!!

      Don't be afraid to give yourself a bit of a rest from it if the shin splints are giving you grief. Running through injuries is almost never a good idea (and I can tell you because I've done it a million times and fucked myself up).

      If you can possibly run on softer surfaces (grass or dirt is best but anything is better than concrete), you may find that helps.

      Anyway best of luck with it comrade!
