When does it get easier?
I did my first park run two weeks ago. I’m late 40s and though I walk a lot, I haven’t jogged in about 30 years. (I fractured my pelvis as a teen, and was never rehabbed). I jogged this thing extremely slowly (40 mins). Afterwards I went for a good dog walk to cool down. I spent all of Sunday and Monday in pain, struggled to walk. I couldn’t go last week, and went again today. Somehow my time was even slower. I stretched before and after and also took the dog out. Tonight despite a massage from my husband and a hot Epsom salt bath, I’m already seizing up. Tomorrow will not be fun. So my question is this, if I keep at a weekly 5km will it eventually get easier? Or do I need to go back and build up and walk/run? Is once a week even enough to get to a point where it gets better (I can’t face doing more tbh) Thanks.
