W7 Runs 1&2

[Lorijay]

Well completed the above runs while away having an extended bank holiday weekend.

R1 was through the forest park at the camping site and was more like trail running, with a number of hills, yuck did not enjoy those.

R2 took a different route down to the sea and although had a considerable amount of down hill I have different muscles making a bit of a noise at the moment so was definitely not easier.

I actually found I had to really slog it out with these two runs so hoping tomorrow's R3 might be a little more enjoyable as I head in to W8. Wow all going well only two weeks left on the programme, still struggling to believe it!

Hope everyone is having a good week, happy running

Thanks Rana, I read your post, well done a bit of a sprinter!! Honestly I had nothing left and although the head and heart wanted to up the pace for 60 secs the body said NO. Hey good luck tomorrow, you'll be great.

Well done. I’ve not found these easy. R2 early this morning and my legs are still killing me. Good luck with R3!

Thanks Jay. It is a little reassuring to know it's not just me, my left leg is giving me a bit of grief today and I ran yesterday. Hope it settles for tomorrow. I really would like to nail this last run with a bit left over.

If it’s still sore tomorrow, perhaps leave it another day? Don’t injure yourself this far in. I am certainly struggling doing these with only a day between and may well delay R3 to Saturday as a result. Will see how late I end up at an evening meeting at work tomorrow and how well I sleep... Good luck with yours.

Thanks Jay, you too.

Meant to say - I found pumping through my arms more when my legs felt tired helped a lot to drive me forward.
