I know it's easy to feel disappointed but you are doing amazing! I just have to read Wk 7 Run 1 and my legs wobble😆 Keep up the good work!

Head up Jmanward it was just a practice run. I found w7r1 the toughest of all and the good folks on here told me not too worry, everyone has bad runs and at unexpected times. After that I never looked back. So don't 2orry, keep it slow and steady and next time you'll smash it!

It’s not just you. I too found this run hard work.

Don’t feel too discouraged. Treat it as a practice run as Steviej99 suggests. Take a rest day, or maybe two, and try again. The weather is warmer now, so it is even more crucial to keep well hydrated.

You can do this 😃

Yep sure did feel disappointed.

Remember though, you ran for 20 mins Wow!

Have an extra rest day and do the run again, you can do this! Slow, steady and smile
