Wow that was tough, for some reason I always find the second run in the week the hardest, probably all in my mind, but this was really tough, a couple of times I thought I was going to have to give up and walk, but sheer bloody mindedness made me carry on...last run in week 7 on Thursday 😁😁

Just relax... the lovely longer runs are made for it.. start slow and stay slow... enjoy the fact that the new running legs are finding their happy pace:) Well done!

I did the w7r2 run today too but I had the dog with me, who had been out this morning with my wife for her 5k and he wasn't willing to go at my pace, so I did have to walk for a bit after dragging him along for the first 10 minutes. Disappointed as r1 was fine on the treadmill on Sunday. I hope the dog will be more willing on an early morning run on Thursday. 🤞
