Run 1 on Monday was a real struggle and I was ready to give up half way round. Laura kept me going and I did finish, but was completely exhausted. So I was dreading run 2 tonight and it turned out great. I really enjoyed it. Just goes to show that a difficult run isn't the end of the world. Put it behind you and don't get put off

Well done. Some runs are tough, you were tougher on Monday, that mental strength to push through really helps sometimes. Great to hear you got a better one tonight. Enjoy run 3

I think you and I are at about the same stage - I finished Week 8 last night. Decided that I need a two day break before the next run instead of running tomorrow, as I am pretty tired. My last Week 7 also had me completely whacked.

Stick with it, I'm now on W8R2 and it does seem to be getting easier. You'll soon have that graduate badge!
