Way to go! That’s a tough one on a day like today in VT. Totally agree that it is hard, but fun. Once you do it, then you know you are capable of doing it again.

Great job! I have about 2k left to go and expect to complete it tomorrow.

I really like that when I signed up for the challenge it pulled in my stats from the previous two days’ workouts which happened to be in the challenge window.

I had JRD on my iPad and Crossrope on my phone.

Nice work! With 3k jumps a workout you’ll make that 15k in 15 in no time. Just got my handles in. It’s great motivation to see those stats.

I do two small bounces between double unders. I’ve been trying to drop them but haven’t found my rhythm yet. I can at least keep my flow with the between bounces, but that certainly adds time and lessens recovery during EMOM workouts. I don’t have a solution-maybe others will-but I’m in your same boat.

Mostly the program. (There were a few times I walked at a quick pace for an hour in addition to my JRD workout.)

Yeah-multiple times in the past I have gotten so discouraged by initial weight gain and quit. More recently I have found if I can get pass that 4-6 week hump, my body then starts to lose weight. The body measurements are key to that as well-if I can see some results from the hard work, it makes me want to stick with the plan.

When I was researching jump rope injuries/pain at one point (diagnosing my shin splints) I came across people talking about something similar to what you are describing. They attributed it to their achilles tendon and the beginnings of tendinitis. Generally due to overuse. I have no health care background, but maybe it’s a place to start researching to find relief and treatment.

Yay! Awesome.

Have you tried wearing compression socks? I wear them every time I jump because I was getting shin splints. At one point I thought I was over it and stopped wearing the socks while on vacation only to have the shin splints return-so I think they’re working.

Generally speaking, though, I think the programs are of best benefit when you tailor them to what you’re capable of. A little challenge, while listening to your body. I think it’s completely appropriate to modify, take breaks, repeat sessions or weeks before moving on, end a workout early if you’ve given all you can give, or take a day or a few off to recover physically or mentally, etc.

Best wishes finding what is sustainable for you!
