Wasn’t expecting to struggle so much on this run.

Feet felt like lead weights attached perhaps as it’s cooler today. BUT, slow & steady, won the day.

Whoop whoop, success - ‘box ticked’ this run! ✅😁😁😁😁😁😁

Bring on wk6r2.....

Well done.

It is your longest workout to date, which may explain your difficulty, which is a very common experience of this run.

Interesting, as I had a bad time with this one yesterday, what is it about this one that catches us out?

It might be be because it's back to intervals and we're usually a bit euphoric and feeling epic after the previous continuous run 😕 and perhaps we go off too fast on this one. Who knows. But no matter. You've done it 🙂

Well If it is that then I'm just glad tomorrow is the last of my intervals 😊and off to continuous all the way then on
