Went for a run tonight and what disaster it was, breathing all over place, legs feel like lead, couldn't get into a rhythm at all, pain across shoulders so gave up - had only ran for 6 mins felt more like 10 mins. Run on Monday was great considering I hadn't been out for 2 weeks. So disappointed with tonight's run!!!
Worse run ever!: Went for a run tonight and what... - Couch to 5K
Worse run ever!



Frustrating isn't it? I had a run like that last Friday and couldn't work out why until the next day when I went down with a sore throat / virus thing so I put it down to that. Hopefully you will be back to normal soon.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

I've given up trying to find a reason for a bad run. I can do a run on 1 day & feel great then try and do the same route, time of day etc. and it's rubbish. You could be starting with a bug (I hope not) or 1 of a hundred other things. Just listen to your body - don't push too hard. Hopefully next time you'll be running like the wind!!

We all them days, put this one to bed and look foward to the next run

Thanks for the comments as always very supportive. Will let you all know how it goes on Sat my next planned run!

Hey you still lapped everyone on the couch - you got out there , that's a win
I know how you feel; my back has been feeling awful and I think I can't do this!
I haven't been out since Tuesday cos it's been so sore, but I am going to try tomorrow the 1st run of week 5. Keep your chin up; just remember you're amazing!
