W7R2 - Practice Run

[Nictwit]

Today was my first 'practice run'. Think I know why (no tea last night and a knee niggle that I was over thinking) but still feel a bit deflated. I ran for 16 mins but then stopped and couldn't restart. Walked home so I was still out for 35 mins. Question now is whether I take my usual rest day or try again in the morning?

Take your rest day and keep to your usual schedule. A practice run is good from time to time - we're human after all, not fitness machines - not yet anyway 😀

I'm sure thenext one will be back on track.

Definitely take your rest day - you will come back stronger 💪

Take your rest day.. some stretches, some exercises and then head out as normal

Well done. Sometimes runs don't go to plan but you were out there trying. Have you rest day 👏

[notoutofbreath Graduate]

Definitely have a rest day, better to come back at it from the strongest position. Plus if you were having knee niggle, it's not going to help depriving it of rest

Funnily enough there's two folks who've had a W7R2 Practice Run today, so you & Matal should just blame the Cosmos, I reckon!

If you read my story, I repeated many days and many entire weeks over the course of the six years (yes, SIX YEARS) it took me to be able to run half an hour. So, I hope you're only very temporarily deflated; you WILL get there, and set-backs are just part of the process. Go, Nictwit, go! xo
