Really struggled today. Not sure if it was cause it was hot or my shoes were tight or cause I'd a period (sorry fellas) but I had to stop in the ,oddly of the last 5 minute run. Stopped for about 90 seconds and ran the last minute. Was annoyed at myself, but it was hard going today.

Just put it down to having a slightly off day for whatever reason - we all have them. You ran for 14 1/2 minutes out of 16, thats still great going. Just a quick thought - if you're running out of steam fairly close to the end is it worth slowing things down just a tiny bit?

No shame in that! Chalk it up to experience and move on.

You did absolutely fine. Some runs are harder than others. Needing to rest is often a sign of starting out too fast - try to ensure you control the speed especially over the first 5 minutes or so

You still got out the door so be pleased with whatever you do. Keep going.
Not what you're looking for?
