W2R1 was tougher than I had hoped

Maybe the lack of sleep, not eating before or something but I found that run very difficult. Mainly the fact that I found controlling my asthma much harder. Hoping next one will be better!!

We all have tough runs. W2 is quite a step up from W1 - each run is 50% longer (but you have a couple fewer runs) and the rests are only 33% longer.

Well done for completing it. Think about those things which may have contributed to it being difficult and try to make the next one easier on yourself. And well done for doing this on top of asthma - I struggled for breath all the way through without that added challenge.

Enjoy the next run!
