W7 R1 in the heat.

[mazmann]

Well I went out this evening and ran W7 R1, sure I am getting slower. Such a drag, maybe it was the heat, but did not enjoy it one little bit. I might change my running route as passed by so many fitter runners that did not seem to be puffing like an old steam train like me. Think I prefer it to be raining.

Just back from W7R1. Understand exactly where you are at. Found out that my fitbit app on my phone will log runs so foolishly took phone with me. Disappointed to find I had only run just over 2.5 km. Still, at least we did it much faster than those on the couch 😀 Won't be taking phone with me for a while. In the meantime, you did it so, onwards and upwards towards W9R3 😁👟🏃👟🏃

Must admit I am a fitbit addict too. At least it helps getting to my 10000 steps everyday. It really does seem to have stepped up a gear. Next run Wednesday let's see how that goes.

Knee niggling now but am planning Wednesday run too. Hope it goes well for you 🏃🏃🏃

Frozen peas work well on th knee. Will be running come he'll or high water, and heat waves. Enjoy your run!

the heat hits me to and I prefer colder runs. I like you get passed by other people, but the way I look at it is that I'm not competing against them, I am competing against my gremlins which kept me on the couch for years, and that is a battle I am wining

Change your route it does help . and all those runners going past you were once where you are now . You can get off days, when the run doesn't go as well as expected. But you have reached wk 7 well done . You will soon be graduating .
