Ok it’s done but I need to learn how pace myself better. Starting out was to fast. But I’m sure I’ll figure it out sooner or later

Well.. even after three years nearly.. I often make sure I start on an incline... that way it really slows me down :)

Just relax into the runs..these longer runs are made for that... well done you!

Well done! Just take R3 a bit slower at the beginning and you’ll smash W7!

Doing my R2 tomorrow. Meant to have been today, but we arrived in Munich too late and it was far too hot for me. Out with the lark first thing! 😀🏃‍♀️

I found I did the same thing this morning, going to try and do Wk7Rn3 even slower on Friday, found it quite hard going today, but pushed through and at least finished ok.
