Yep, pretty usual! Well done on completing it! You’ll feel the benefits of each week the following week if you see what I mean. Your body is gradually being acclimatised to the extra work load which seems a lot at the time, but easy in comparison when you move on. πŸ’ͺ🏻

So what you did today was excellent and you should feel proud! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Happy running and have tons of fun. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ˜€

Very much so.

Think about your body as a person in a job. For years the manager has been lax and let the guy just show up and do the bare minimum. New manager comes in and makes the guy work. First, it’s a shock, second they moan, third they struggle to deal with it. That’s all that’s happening, and it won’t last too long.
