Can’t believe that was exactly the same run as I did on Saturday. Although I kept going and completed the run it felt so much harder than the the last one.

I did have an additional rest day before the last run so maybe that’s the difference? It was also much colder out.

Who knows!! Fingers crossed the next run will be easier 🏃‍♀️😊

Sometimes it will just be harder than others. There are many reasons it could be, but the important thing is you did it, so well done!

My W6 R3 & W7 R1 were the other way round. I think it's just how it goes sometimes. Well done! 😎

Extra days rest is good so not that. You did brilliant by doing it. We are not machones, some days we just feel better or worse than others. Keep going you're doing great
