Well done.

When I ran that one I was the same... I think it’s the mind... the runs got progressively harder until I saw the workout coming to an end, at which point I relaxed and suddenly it was all easier.

Well done for getting it done, sounds like you paced yourself well. The human body is a mysterious thing 😊 Sometimes the runs are a doddle then suddenly it feels so hard. I guess the thing is to be ready for the harder moments and run through them knowing next time you'll feel great again!!

Thanks Steviej99, I was ready for a tough one this morning knowing it was a longer run but I coped, let’s hope Thursday brings the same result 😃

Laura, of the podcasts, tells us there is no rhyme or reason. Some runs are just better than others 🤷‍♀️ 🙂
