So I did a lunchtime run... first time ever and I found that run really hard I was really slow and my legs were killing afterwards. I am not sure I can go on... going to do the third run on Thursday hope it goes ok because at moment that 5 minute run is at snails pace....

Well done for completing your run! I wonder whether this was your lunch break from work! Even more amazing to me if that was the case. I was a secondary teacher, lunch times were so full. I really couldn't get out for a run! There is no rule to say only one rest day, so if you want to take another that is fine. Also, usually there is a slower speed, so slow down take it really slow and steady. One run prepares you for the next one. Trust the program! These are all mantras that I have picked up from others. All the very best for your next run. Nearly half way through! Well done! Keep it up! 😊🏃🏻🏃‍♀️🏃🏻🏃‍♀️🏃🏻🏃‍♀️
