Week 7 Run 3 - why so hard?

[Sprinkler]

Bit disappointed to find this run so hard. Was expecting it to get easier but this one was tough. Don’t know why. Hoping week 8 Run 1 is easier.

Sometimes it’s just not as good as others... don’t sweat it... when a run sucks the next is usually better! Good job and enjoy week 8

Sunday was my W7R3 and I also found it tough. This morning I did an early morning run, slowed my pace and the temperature was nice and brisk.... It was fantastic! Much better than the last. You got this!

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope it’s easier!

Too fast ? These longer runs are made to relax into.... the newly forming running legs know what they are doing... let them do it Slow and steady and let them find their happy pace

[Sprinkler in reply to Oldfloss]

Not too fast. I felt tired almost from the first step so took it really slow!

Somebody on here told me you have good and bad runs, I think I was on week 6 or 7, I remind myself when I am feeling I cannot continue with a run still. You will be amazed how quickly your stamina will increase x

I’m sure you’re right about good and bad runs. Hoping for a good one today.
