W8R2 in the bag

W8R2 done but still finding it a slog. Still hoping to actually enjoy this - when will it happen?

I am carrying about 1.5 stone too much and thinking this must be the cause.

Any advice anyone.

Maybe you could try slowing down a bit, this might help you enjoy the runs more? Alternately. do you need an extra rest day between runs? That is quite common at this stage as you are still building up strength and your body needs time to repair in order not to become run down. Good luck🙂
