Wk4 R2- really tough ☹️

Just finished my second run of the week tonight after coming home from work. My legs felt like lead and I only ran 4 out of the first 5 minute run. I did manage to complete the other runs so it is still progress but just a bit disappointed I didn't manage to do it all. I prefer my morning runs on the days I don't work as I definitely feel fresher and think I am more hydrated. Got to keep going though!

Thank you for the encouragement - I think I like morning better. Hopefully the next run will be better

I've got nothing but admiration for you! Going out for a run after a day's work falls into my "Heck, really?" category. You're going to nail this week!!

I just don't have the energy to run in the evening after a day at work... But getting up at 6am to run before work? Oh yessssssss.... sets me up for the day 🤣
