Found the 8 minute run hard but the final 5 ok. Doesn't seem any rhyme or reason why some are more difficult than others. Just taking one at a time - but thrilled with the progress😀😀 Hope everyone else is enjoying !!

Hi Snail. You’re right, a brilliant run one day can be horrendous the next time you do the same route. And you’re right again in the no rhyme or reason (assuming there’s nothing obvious like being under hydrated or wearing the wrong pants 😊). It’s all part of runnings rich tapestry, and keeps us chasing that feeling we get when it all comes together.

Not long now before you get that shiny badge by your name 👍.

I’m the same, sometimes the run feels a lot harder for no reason which feels odd if you know you’ve run longer/further etc. Guess it’s very normal and experienced runners probably get it too!
