W7r2 tough but happy!

Thought as I’d done 25mins already it would be a breeze! Not quite...was maybe running a bit too quick as it was treadmill again (lunchtime so not keen on workmates seeng me wobbling past!) but pleased with myself. Lunchtime is difficult to fit in but reinforces the importance of my health and gets me away from work for a bit. Need to compare distance with Sunday’s but I’m happy.

Sometimes the second run in the sequence seems harder I never knew why. But one thing as you're getting closer to the podium the cumulative effects are perhaps mounting up, so if you feel you need it, do take an extra days rest... it may help.

Lunchtime running a great commitment, well done you

Yes! Great job! Taking the time, making it a part of the schedule, acting like you have a RIGHT to be healthy... which you do ... really great!

I loved my second 25 minute run! The first one felt terribly hard and I nearly gave up, but the second one was amazing! I think we just all have days when it feels hard... not properly hydrated or not slept well, what we have eaten in the previous 24 hours or fighting off a few germs... who knows...? Well done for notching up another run! :)
