<human>: Last one from me in this series, promise :) My perspective is that of a keen amateur with no running ambition, other than having fun running and staying healthy for years to come... Veteran-1 next year ;)

It's been 3 weeks since Paris and I just finished my first week training with a first 10Km run.

I said in my last post that my first 6-7Km run felt great. The day after didn't. So I gave it 2 days rest, another 7Km run after that, 1 day rest and today (Sat) I just finished my first 10Km run.

Various pains after the Marathon pretty much prevented me from running any sooner. Foot pain right after the Marathon and for pretty much 2 weeks after. Overlapping was a back of the knee pain (on the same leg) + sore calf.

Legs pain are interesting. Some you need to watch very carefully but some are just your body telling you it's fed-up with you. Knowing which one's which is the most difficult.

Also on being out of shape: HR around 171 today (hot) when it should've been around 148-155 and rest rate at 95 after 1/2 hour when it should've been down to 70-80 by now.

But, it's not all doom and gloom. I'm back running and managed not to faint a single time in the weeks following my second marathon.

Hopefully this will come as a warning: It took me 2.5 years from couch to first Marathon. 1 year later (running a good 60-70Km a week in my last 4 months), knowing what I was putting myself through, I still managed to get hurt and needed 2 weeks rest and probably another 4-6 weeks slowly ramping-up the effort to fully recover.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Cleared a backlog of various pains in the 3 weeks post Paris, ran a first 10Km today, so far so good but still completely out of shape.
