Just completed my 2nd run, which I found harder than my first. Is this normal? Though my first run was done at 6.30am and the 2nd was at 7.30pm after a day at work, so I've probably answered my own question....

Some runs are just better than others (like some days are). The morning/evening thing probably does make a difference. I just don't do mornings at all and a friend is almost asleep when I am raring to go (amazing we actually do stuff together lol)

Nikki is so right, it takes a while to work out your own rhythm. I am not a morning person, but I found saying I'd go out in the evening, meant I'd just prevaricate and find 'jobs' that needed doing. So now for running I'm a morning person... Also Run 1, I can remember I was so pleased I'd actually done it, that I think it was harder to do Run 2. Stick with it you'll be fine.

Not what you're looking for?
