W2d3 struggled

Hello. So just finished w2 :). But a little confused. The first two runs this week were surprisingly comfortable. I felt good running and was feeling confident about w3. But today's run was awful. I didn't go any faster, had had a rest day in between but had to really battle to keep going for the 90 seconds and had nothing left at the end. Now feeling less confident about next week. Is it normal to suddenly find runs difficult like this?

Don't worry - some days are just better than others! I've gone through the same thing but have just done W5R1. Never thought I'd get this far but I have - and you will. Keep going - it's so worth it!

Some good days, some bad days. Happens with all types of exercise - and with life! You had a not so good one, next one may well be a good one.
