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!!

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.
