Week 4 - feels like a big step up ?

I have just finished my second week 4 run - the second half was really tough going and felt a big step up- anyone else felt this ?

Obviously not helped by this heat wave- any tips - unfortunately I can’t run until after work- so can’t avoid the heat.

Thanks

It’s all carefully designed to stretch you just enough to get you where you need to be. The heat is killing us all, not just running but sapping energy and hydration constantly. Enjoy the next one.

Drink copious amounts of water, even more important is to remember to hydrate on the rest days too. Happy drinking - water!! 🌊

Week 4 frightened me so much I went back and did week 3 again, lol. I'm happy to report that I'm currently running week 6 without any problems so it came good in the end.
