Early morning run this morning started off well but last 5 minutes was hard really starting to doubt my ability as a runner. Anybody else find the first run of each week tough?

How long have you got.... like the toxic ten, many folk find the first run if each week hard going..but, if you keep it slow and keep it steady you will be just fine:)

Many, myself included, found the second run the toughest, probably all for psychological reasons.

They are all as tough or as easy as you make them..........your pace defines that.........slow = easy, fast = hard..........you are in control.

I started WK 4 yesterday, it was a bit of s shock but did it, just light steady pace helped me, slightly dreading Wednesdays run but determined to do this! We are all in the same boat, keep up the good work! I always look back to struggling on week 1 and realise how far I’ve come

Not what you're looking for?
