W7 R1 done

[1slowcoach]

Never thought I was going to manage it today. Half way into the run I started to really struggle with my breathing and felt a real lactic acid build up in my thighs. Didn't feel as though I was going faster than the other day. Decided just to slow down and recovered gradually at a slower pace. Was totally determined not to be defeated and actually managed to up my pace by a good bit for the last minute.

Now hoping run 2 will be a bit easier although it will be incorporated into a 5K park run so could be tougher.

Slow is good.. make sure you are exercising on rest days and stretching after every run...

Maybe too, check out Realfoodieclub 's post re Park run..great advice there

I always do stretches after my run and always try to do some form of exercise on rest days though probably not enough

Will take a look at the post . Thank you
