Monday start - first week

After 2 hill runs and 3 average gym sessions last week I'm ready for week 1 of Freeletics, a programme of plyometric and calisthenic exercises.

I know that it will be incredibly hard, especially at the start, but my main worry is injury through overuse, in particular shoulder and elbow joints.  I will build in strong warm up and stretching to try and prevent this, but these two sets of joints have plagued me during weight training as well.  Let's see....  I also plan, if I can still move, to do short runs on off days to help move lactate and loosen up.
