I shall be leaving dry land and embracing the water for my third challenge, by taking part in WWF’s Blue Mile.
The best kind of active recovery!
Completing my first ever half marathon, with an inadequate amount of training, left me walking like a penguin with pretty sore hips, quads, hamstrings and calves. You name it, if it’s a tendon, ligament, joint or muscle in my legs – it was sore.
