Have really struggled this week with runs 1 & 2. My legs felt so heavy. After run 2 they ached all night and I felt totally drained. I have found previous weeks runs to be fine and have looked forward to the next ones. I have managed to keep plodding on at a snails pace though. Have given myself an extra day off before I attempt run 3 tomorrow but can't say I'm very confident about it like have been previously.

Have you made sure you are drinking enough? I didn't drink or eat enough yesterday and my legs were very heavy today trying my practice run. One foot in front of the other you will b great. Xx

That's at least 3 of us doing W6R3 tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everyone post on here about their successes tomorrow, and I'm sure you’ll be one of them. Good luck!
Ah - don’t worry W6 is a tough one. From what I remember R3 was (not easy) but easier than 1&2. Good luck & remember the mantra - slow & steady.
I’m not a water drinker either, so I can totally relate. The cramps in my legs have convinced me to choke it down the day before a run. Sometimes I warm it up and put a dash of lemon in it, sometimes tea, sometimes a squeeze of lime, or a splash of orange juice. You can do this! We all believe in you and tomorrow’s run will be a success. 😁
