W7R3 harder than I thought

Weirdly the last run was harder than preceding two. Maybe because I ate lunch and ran mid afternoon instead of before eating. Anyway covered 3.8km so happy with that. Now off to lie down!!

I think you’re probably right and it was the food! Lesson learned!!

Maybe you ran too soon after you had lunch, onwards and upwards to week 8 and remember to run not sooner that 2 hours after a meal.
