Why did the last 5min run feel so hard???? Please tell me it's because I had to run on a treadmill this evening! No sitter this evening.

Although I've did it, it was hard going and doubt has crept it :(

Some are harder than others, I just finished a run and was disappointed with it but Friday’s will be different. Slow and steady was the best advice I received 👍

I think you did famously getting on the treadmill when you could not get out for a run - so you should jolly well give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back. And a second pat on the back as you found the last 5 minutes so hard - but you kept on going - be proud! I always go through a patch at some point on my run(s) in the fields behind my house when my legs feel like dead weights. I have to have a word with myself, try and focus on the music I am listening to or look ahead to when there may be a slightly easier downy bit coming up, grit my teeth and run (stagger?) onwards until that heavy feeling eases, which fortunately it has done to date. You have met a challenging run head on. Here's to your next run and may it be a happy one. SP
