Moved on to repeat week 4 this morning...after my epic & rather fabulous outing saturday morning for some reason i was hoping it might be something similar...nope!!!It was HARD!!!

That last 5 minutes nearly finished me off!!!

I reckon its because the sun isn't shining...I always get an extra boost of energy when the sun is shining 😊

Well done for getting out. It's pretty miserable out there! My run last night was beautiful. It was damn cold, but the sky was clear and I had a sky full of stars :)

I had a similar experience after a 10 day gap...the first run was a breeze, the next like wading through treacle. R1 of the next week, everything fine. Just keep going...

Will do 😊

Ive had three runs like that. They demoralised me, but the support from the forum was excellent - and they were right, the following run each time was fine. With me, I think my mind gets in the way. Im about to do my last run of week 9 some time this week, and my stupid mind is already wobbling about it. Hey ho. Glad you are back into running x

Well done for making it to the end despite your struggle! That one is done: forget about it now and enjoy the next runs. Besides, if they were all fantastic, it would be no fun ;-) and that's why we can fly to the moon sometimes because we know how bad it can be!

Very true 😊

I had a couple of runs in week 5 where I seemed to struggle more, felt I couldn’t breathe and had no energy think my issue was I was actually pacing too fast, pull back a little and don’t pressure yourself, I just told myself it’s not a race. If you run a mile in 4 mins or 14 mins you’ve still ran a mile, keep going xx

in reply to CazAM

I'm definately not in any danger of going too fast haha πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ i couldnt go much slower half the time...that would be stopping!!!πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
