I have been using my time in lockdown to start running again.  I used to run alot when I was younger – well until I had children.  Overeating and stress over the last three months has led to my little lockdown belly which I am determined to get rid of.
I am following the BBC’s Couch to 5K programme – which I am really loving.  I am lucky that my lovely friend Karen is also doing it – we are both around week 3/4 (well she’s week 4 I am stuck on week 3 due to injury) at the moment so I have some accountability which really helps – it is a 9 week plan.

So those of you who are runners – or thinking about running I have been doing a LOT of research.  My main issue is my calf/achilles.  Having had a gait analysis I have changed my running shoes which make SO MUCH difference – also like running in slippers!  BUT I also need to start strength training.

I thought this guidance may help:

As a yoga teacher I also use Yoga to help me stay strong and subtle.  If you’d like to try yoga to help with your running why not pop over to my YouTube channel and check out my videos for sports people there.  Click on the picture to view!
