Week 9 Run 2 - Aaaaargghhh

Could be one of those weird blips that you can get now and again. Did you drink plenty of water yesterday? Congrats on pushing through it though. You should be extra proud of yourself. 1 more to go. All the best with it!!! 🐾✌

Everyone has a not so fun run now and again - but you kept going and didn't give in to the gremlins - so well done. You can do this - just relax and you will get that run 3 graduation done. 😊

Best of luck - that shiny grad badge is almost yours - it's a massive achievement be proud of what you have done🤗x

Well done, you did it.

There is always a reason why some runs are, or appear to be, harder than others and if you can fathom it out then you can avoid those situations in future.

Restedness, hydration, fuelling and general mental state are the main personal variables to consider, while the external influences can be time of day, route, weather etc.

You should drink a minimum of 2 to 2.5 litres of fluids per day and considerably more when exercising. It makes a huge difference to performance to get hydration correct. Drink today for tomorrow's run.

My second run in week 9!was a bad one as well had a stitch for second half of it and struggled to finish. But final run was fine so I guess that is how things work sometimes. Good luck on the final run. - it will probably be easier than you expect. I’ve done two runs since I graduated and was able to enjoy them more with the pressure off.

Well done for keeping going; that shows real strength of purpose and commitment. Very impressive and inspirational xxx

Well done on completing the run , this shows how far you have come already physically and mentally ..

As others have said there can be a myriad of reasons for tough run and good advise regarding hydration ... i must do better with that too ..

enjoy your rest day, time to reset and then go out and rock that last run, which I am sure you will 😊😊

Well done 😀

I’ve got run 3 to go of week 9 It’s taken me longer than 9 weeks. Illness etc. I did run 2 yesterday. Think I should have rerun week 8 first as I had done 1st run of week 9 over a week ago. I think I will do 2nd run again. I managed to finish it but it was quite tiring.

I’m nearly there though!!!!
