Running Diaries: Week 3 of Couch to 5k

[@richsullivan1950]

"Get it done" - great attitude, and a great mantra to keep you going. Glad you got out for a night run safely - a good headtorch is a must. If you're nervous, do a loop around where you live, that way if you feel unsafe, you're always only a minute or two from home. Keep going, you'll surprise yourself each week about how far you've come

About the shoes, have you been for a gait analysis at a local running shop, maybe get shoes that are half or a full size bigger than what you normally wear as feet can swell when running

@@DanRuns81 ah yes you’re right! I’ll try loosening my laces on my next run. Failing that, I’ll probably just go get a new pair - like you say, half a size up. Thanks for the comment! 😍🩷

Runners Need in Brighton do a gait test, worth doing.
