Not sure about toxic 10 - today’s run (W7 D2) was a toxic 25!!!! Didn’t go out until 8 hoping it would be cooler. Was still hot although nice and shady. Very muggy. Did however manage to tell my legs to keep moving in spite of my brain screaming STOP!!!!! That was tough!!!

Well done you for keeping on. Sometimes it's just one of those things, I'm sure the next one will be just fine. Keep drinking plenty of water both on run days and rest days.

Happy running 🙂

Congratulations - that was a tough one but you are tougher 👏👍. That's a run you will be able to use when things are tough again (hope you won't need to call on it for a very long time).

You learn more from a hard run like that than a simple one. But it’s no fun, is it?

Your brain is trying to protect you. It means well. The heat is probably a big factor.

Having pushed through that I’m confident you will graduate. Well done, fellow runner.

Thanks all for the support 😊. Roll on graduation now!!! Not long left

I had one run like that. Just horrid. Every step was a challenge and an achievement once completed. Hopefully, your next one will be an improvement. 😁

Hi, well done for getting through a difficult run 👍 Some runs are harder than others and it gets more of a mental battle than physical sometimes 😊 You got through this one so you can get through next time too! All the best 🙂

But you did it!! Well done! Slow down a bit if you need to, especially in this dreadful heat!

Well done for pushing through. Humid conditions are very challenging. Just think of it as extra stamina training, both physical and mental. Hydrate well 👍
