Struggled today

Did a run today struggled Monday but a managed to do 6k when it wasn't that hot. Today could only managed under 4k and it took me 37 mins. Training for 10k for November. Should I be worried that I didn't push that bit further or go faster. Or shall I just chalk it up to the warm weather and not beat myself up too much.

Today was a day for a short easy pace run. Plenty of time to get to 10K.

Give yourself a break in the warm weather you will have off days And that is okay remember your journey is only going to improve so you’re well on track for a 10 K in November I’m sure

This weather is energy sapping DL. I’ve slowed right down from my already snail-like pace this last couple of weeks due to the best and humidity. I think most of us have.

Just take it easy out there. 😀

Definitely don't beat yourself up! We all have days when it's more of a struggle, and 4k is still 4k however long it takes. You'll soon have another good run again.

Not what you're looking for?
