Well w6r2 was my hardest run yet...

[Redcello41]

This run was the biggest mental battle for some reason, my insecurities just got in the way a lot and I noticed it definitely affected my physical performance too. My pace was off and just wasn't running well. Maybe it was because I ran at a different time of day than I usually do (I usually run early in the morning when there is no one else about) and there were more people about (and dogs!) today. The last 5 minutes were especially tough and I just wanted to stop, but I pushed through and I'm actually quite proud of myself for managing to complete today's run despite it being mentally and physically tough.

Even though I had a hard run, I have found that I have learnt a lot more during this run than previous easier runs, for example, learning to face my insecurities head on and running with endurance. I'm hoping run 3 of week 6 will be better...

Perfect. Tough runs come... insecurities come... the voices in your head come... it can all feel so wrong... and you start to think about the comfort zone you run in normally... doubts double... and some people quit that run... not you... you took everything that run had to throw at you and you were so much stronger. Remember this run with pride, we all get those tough days, and when your next one arrives just think about this one and how great it feels right now... that will help you in that moment.

Most of the time after a run that really sucks the next one is much smoother. You got this now, enjoy.
