Well done Rob... like you I also struggled a bit tonight....hey ho

Interesting to hear your running times as we are both at the same level and are roughly the same age and perhaps have had similar bad health record in the past ... You pace works out to 7min 48 Secs per km.... My run tonight was at an average pace of 8min 50secs... so you are faster than me! Well done.

Suppose we have to take all the advice on board that pace can come later.

thanks Andy glad to get that one out of they way it feels dead slow to me although i knew i was running a little faster as I reached my turn around point further on today.

Its definitely more a mental thing now than physical ,i am determined to get through all the runs

hope your R3 goes well when you do it Andy

Well done, Rob. I think we all get those all over the place tough runs! Wish I knew what I was doing so different on those days. Have a good run 3!

Great stuff Rob ! I always found the Weeks Run 2's a bit of a mare , but you did the right thing , you dug in and that's that one done and dusted . Big tick for you

Don't worry about your pace, youre doing great. That'll all sort itself out and you will find what works for you.

Have a good rest day tomorrow and then go out and smash Run 3, all the very best to you xxx

Thanks so much poppy looking forward to the rest day tomorrow , even going to splurge out on a very unhealthy pizza and chips for tea little treats wont hurt

I know this sounds crazy Rob, but sometimes keeping ones mind on other things can really help. I was running up a hill once when the music from my kept stopping. I was getting more and more irate trying to get it going again without having to stop running and I made it to the top of the hill before I even realised it! I reckon more than half of this running lark has to do with the brain!

Anyway keep running. You are doing great and don't worry about how fast you are going, that improves over time almost without trying.

Thanks kingfisher I get what you mean. It is definite more a mind thing now

[Determined_flump Graduate]
