Week 6 Run 3.....done (just!!)

Well that was my toughest run yet !! Have to say I struggled the whole time - the only enjoyable bit was the last 60 seconds - full of mixed emotions now - glad I managed to run for 25 mins but upset that I didn't enjoy it. My legs were aching the whole time and my running didn't feel natural today. Other runs I have settled into a natural pace but not today for some reason. Really hoping week 7 goes OK - don't want 3 more runs like today !!

You'll be fine X

Some runs are like that, they just seem hard work

Bet the next run will be fine and you'll get into your nice pace again and you'll be posting what a lovely run you had X

Thank you - I like your thinking and hope you are right. I'm planning on running again on Monday morning so a couple of rest days should help.

Thank you 😀

Did that run last night. Didn't enjoy it. But we are so close now we have to finish. I guess we need to try a few long runs to see the best way to tackle them.
