fitness & 1/2 marathon
I have always been a fitness person. My MS diagnosis gave me a huge scare. I am in the gym at least 4 days a week and run at least one 2 5k races a month. I am getting ready to tackle my first 1/2 marathon this weekend ( with drs approval of course). Does anyone here work out regulatory or are runners? How do you manage?
I weight train 4-5 days a week with a mix of cardio too and find I feel much better after. Think it might be physiological after lifting heavy weights as I know I am still strong regardless of my tingling in legs and hands. I listen to my body and if I feel really fatigued I will skip a session but if I’m Just feeling lazy I will go! Exercise is great for my mind and body so I will carry on as usual and if there ever comes a day where I can’t carry out my usual routine I will still go and do the best I can! Good luck with your 1/2!
@pippa87 AWESOME!! i feel worse if i dont keep moving. I am guilty of not listening to my body until its too late tho, i must admit. LOL! i try to live as normal of a life as i can . I have MS; it doesnt have me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!
