Blimey that was hard! Terrible build up of lactic acid in the calves and at one stage it was “ ill just run to that lamppost” but got there - just! I’m only walking on my rest days, so might need to rethink!!

Glad it’s not just me that found W7R2 hard. I was so up for it this morning but whether it was the heat or what I just found it hard. I’ve been swimming on rest days. Don’t know whether it helps but it’s nice and gentle on the joints! Let’s hope run 3 is ‘easier’

Yep! No2 son (18 fit as a butchers dog) is threatening to come to the Parkrun with me this week and “run it quick Mum and then come back and run it with you slow”!!!!!!
