That was so hard!

I usually run in the morning but a multitude of reasons meant I couldn’t run this morning. So just did W6R1 this evening. My legs felt like lead. I couldn’t figure out how I ran 20mins two days ago but really struggled with this. I ache all over. But I finished it which I suppose is something. But it was very slow.

Well done.!! I’ve just done this run too..it’s surprising isn’t it. I think the interval runs are probably tougher with the stop/start rather than just get into a stride and keep running. Keep it up..you’re doing amazingly well 🤩🎉

Just saw your other post. Well done. It’s strange isn’t it as you would think it would be easier but definitely not!

Thank you. Yes get out in the morning - definitely better than the evening in my view. I found it hard but I also know a few weeks ago I would have talked myself out of doing it. Good luck tomorrow. The couch beckons!
