"Tiredness"

I've just finished Week 8 and I've experienced that half way (14 mins) through my runs I feel so tired. This causes me to think about why I might be tired and thus I inspect myself: my breathing is stable; I have no muscle/joint pain; I'm not dying for a drink. So... what is this tiredness I am feeling??

Do you tend to run after a busy day at work? I find my best run is early in the morning? I also get tired half way but need to personally sort my breathing. Week 9,run 1 tonight so will c how that goes. Just keep positive and think how far you have come!

Haha yes I run in the evenings and work with children, which takes a lot of energy. I guess it really is the simple matter of being tired in general. Mornings before work would be a struggle as I leave the house at 7am... and I'm not an early riser as it is. But maybe I can try some morning runs on the weekend. Good luck for W9!! :D
