W8R3 slower than a snail

[Cotswold-runner]

End of week 8 for me this morning but went out later than my usual 05.30am and more cars and people about than I have been used to which meant I couldn't cross roads easily as normal so kept my legs moving on the spot!!

Got into a good rhythm early on - which is not the norm for me and must have been running a lot quicker as Jo whiley coming in much further on into my run but then my right leg got achy and had to slow down quite a bit to keep going -but I did finish although the app told me.to finish sooner than I know I have run this week so I carried on until I normally stopped this week so ran for 33 mins in the end and not the 28 but covered the same distance as usual for me in 28 mins!!! Oh well as they say onwards and upwards - is there anything slower than a snail? 🐌😁

Week 9 from Friday this week!! Eeeek!!

But you did complete week 8 well done! I’m about to start it and intend to slow down to just above walking pace just to get through it! Good luck with graduation week!!!

I'm having the same problem, I seem to be slower running 28 mins that 24 mins and I don't know why. I have tried to ensure I have had something to eat and plenty of liquids but there doesn't seem to anything in the "tank" to drive me forward. I am open to any suggestions.
