Easy 60 mins, quite a slow pace, a little bit cautious in the dark and wet as I fell over on Friday’s easy run. I have been googling and I think I need to practice my form and picking my feet up more and google also says there are some exercises I can do to strengthen calves etc.
One of those runs where once I got out I enjoyed it even though it was cold and wet.
I think the reality is, the slower we run, the more likely we are to trip, as we won’t pick our feet up so much. Plus being in the dark obviously make it’s much tougher to see those small trip hazards. We have a lot of fallers in our club runs, due to the large groups and running around the dark streets of Hastings. Invariably each week, someone falls. All that said, you are right, there are some exercises you can do to improve your leg strength. I have a short 10 min leg workout on the site that I start a lot of runners off doing. We could add that to the plan, once, or twice if you wanted. You set a timer and it’s over before you know it. That will help build some extra strength in the legs. Let me know if you want me to include them. But well done on today’s run and glad you enjoyed it.
