W7R2 Exhausted!

[jimmers]

So I’m amazed to be finding myself doing longer runs already. This last one was the first time I’ve seriously contemplated stopping before the end. In fact, I *did* stop unconsciously to adjust my hat for a second but not long enough to count as a rest. I seem to be exhausted all the time, even on my rest days. I’m hoping my body will get used to the new long runs soon. I will just keep going until it does. I am starting to wonder what I should do once Couch to 5k is completed!

Hi jimmers, well done. I have just posted about W7R3 and can totally relate to what you are saying about been tired. I have really struggled with this week and like you just want my body to adjust to the non stop runs.

Good luck with Run3 and look forward to reading your successful post.

Well done! I hope you get your energy back. Sounds like you’re doing great.

Thanks for the encouragement! I just did W7R3 and it went a lot better. I kept myself busy trying to count my footsteps (I'm trying to work out what bpm music I should listen to. At the moment I just have Sarah Millican for company on the app!) and I got to the end without felling tempted to stop at all. Onto week 8 where I reckon I might have the same midweek dip and, hopefully Friday recovery!
