Failed miserably had to give in at just over 13 mins , in a way I’m glad I’ve had a setback just so I know it’s not plain sailing will attempt again Friday .

In this heat I’m not surprised. Good luck with the next one.

More down to stiff calf and lower back pain , wasn’t breathless or fatigued . I kept at 6mph so may go slower next run 😢

Then only run on Friday if they are “right”. A few days could save you a few weeks.

It’s a tough one - can you run early in the morning when it’s a bit cooler? That would help.

No 'f' words please... just a blip...rest up, stretch well and head out Friday, as slow and steady as you like and KNOW you will do it.. after all, you had a practice:) x
