W8R1...felt like a struggle 🥵

[Coco-Major]

For me..that felt tough. Hardest to date..felt hot and bothered the whole time, breathing was all over the place, legs felt tight. Glad it’s over..will be having a soak in the bath and an early night..

But amazed I ran for 28 minutes..

Did you feel good for achieving it, , well done I still struggle sometimes when I start too fast

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Cuig1975]

It did feel good to do it..here’s hoping it will be easier on Thursday, thanks 🙏

Well done! It’s been warmer today, and it sounds like it’s caught a few people out. Maybe that didn’t help?

But no matter, because you did it! Enjoy your soak 🛁 and relax 😊

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, the hotter weather didn’t help..thanks Delly 😊

[Jen302 Graduate]

Well done!, you did it though!

I found W8R1 hard last week but managed to push myself through it. It is harder with the warmer weather.

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Jen302]

Hoping it’s put me in good stead for Thursday 😊 another step closer 👍🏻

Huge well done... take it steady particularly in the warmer snaps of weather... make sure you are well hydrated too.. { every day...not just run day_Relax into these lovely long runs

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Oldfloss..you’re right, I probably could’ve done with upping my fluid intake today 😊

[Evol Graduate]

Well done you!

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Evol]

Thank you 😊

[Debston Graduate]

Well done for sticking with it! I really noticed the difference in temperature today, and didn't help that I'd decided to run mainly uphill! But I guess we just have to accept that some runs will be tougher than others for whatever reason... Some people say that a bad run is still better than no run and I think there's a lot of truth in that!

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thanks Debston, it really made a huge difference..but it’s done, and ticked off 👍🏻

[MrsD47]

Well done 👍

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to MrsD47]

Thank you 😊

I will join you in hating W8. Some of it was my ignorance too but overall it was the toughest week for me. I did all the 3 runs with only one motivation: I cant take a run4 of this at the least. I did it, you will do it as well. All the best.

[Coco-Major Graduate in reply to robew88636]

Thank you..I’ll get tomorrow’s run out of the way then I’m going to do R3 at a ParkRun on Saturday so hoping that will spur me on 🤞

[robew88636 Graduate in reply to Coco-Major]

That's a good idea. You can vent out your anger (if required 😆) with fellow runners and finish W8. As you said, a good spur for W9. Do update post the parkrun.
