Some runs are harder than others for some reason

Did you maybe go a little faster than last time? If you did then slloooowwww is the way to go 👍

Yes I did! But if I go much slower I'll be walking!🤣🤣

Our bodies kick up a fuss sometimes :) Good days, not so good days - we are organisms, not machines after all. Just take it easy until it sorts itself out and figures that it has to fall in line with the new running you :)

I also get days like this, when runs feel wrong from the moment I start. Usually there are better ones around the corner (she says hopefully!).
