Week 2 run 1

Done my run yesterday, snow wasn't too much of a problem. The weather was great, snow had settled and the stars were to the party.

Definitely harder this time but somehow the second half was easier than the start?! Why is that?

Good run. The first few minutes of cardio put us in oxygen deficit... the brain eventually gets the message and ramps up the respiration and it gets easier again... it’s a phenomenon referred to as either the fatal 5 or the toxic 10 and affects the vast majority of runners who haven’t been doing this since childhood.

Enjoy run 2
