Struggling W2R2

Ahhhh....

I done W2R1 on Monday. Have a head cold so didn’t run Wednesday and really want to do it this evening. So off I went and really struggled. My calves feel like they are in knots. I only managed the full 90 second run twice. Feeling a bit defeated!

Maximum points for dedication, but this should be fun, not torture.

Give yourself a break and wait until you are fully well again.

Have you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

No need to feel defeated, just learn. Every run is training for the next one, so take the positives, learn from the situation and repeat the run when well.
