Comment: Progress - Week 4 Day 1

Most people find running on a hard surface (footpath) "easier" than running on dirt or grass because you can get a good push off on a hard surface - it takes more effort to run on uneven ground - more concentration, ankle strength, and slight increased cardio effort BUT it is so much kinder to your joints. Perhaps one day a week you can run around a grassy oval for your session? When you feel confident with your balance and ankle strength you can mix it up a bit - run off the edge of the footpath sometimes on the gravel, limestone, grass or whatever's there.
