Done, but it was a struggle all of the way. This was my hardest run so far.

I did have a busy morning and walked for almost an hour before my run in the afternoon. I guess the walking took its toll on me. My legs did seem heavy.

Weekend runs are always a bit trickier, but I will try to plan my Sunday run better going forward as I didn't enjoy it today.

Roll on week 8!

Sometimes we have a bad run, that's how it is. Not always attributable to anything. Only 2 weeks or 6 runs to the podium so don't let the gremlins undermine the fact you've finished week 7. Have at least one rest day, come out next time and smash it!

Thank you! I will make it to the end. I am 100% confident of that. I do over analysing things. Thanks again

Good for you. Analysing can be fun but can also be the gremlins tool to spread despair. You've got the attitude and there's always room for one more on the podium. Enjoy the rest of the journey.
