Week 7 struggle

[TulareRunner]

I did my second run of week 7 today and it was hard. But I did finish it. The last few minutes I kept thinking “ how did I just do this ? “

I’m pumped that I’m still sticking to the program but today was harder on me for some reason.

I actually ran further than I did Monday. So I’m getting faster I think. If you’re on week 7 like me just remember to give yourself a pep talk at the half way mark and remind yourself that you’ve come a long ways since week 1!

You are doing well, now, simply slow down.

The longer runs are just perfect for relaxing into. Start slow and stay slow.. the time for speed can follow

Let the newly-forming running legs find their own happy pace... that is when it feels like, they take over, and you just let them

Very well done!

That's probably why it felt a bit harder then - you went faster and covered more distance.
