Hard run

Today was my first run in a week as I have been under the weather all week. It was definitely hard, not sure if that was due to no running for a week or recovering from a cold? Week 6 run 2, I might repeat that before I do run 3. It’s a little demotivating when you struggle 😦

The first run back after a break can seem tougher especially if you've been unwell. Your next run will be fine. Well done you 😊

Thanks, I was hoping this would be the case. Makes me feel better

Well done.

It is far more likely that you struggled because you are still under the weather, rather than the break. It takes longer to recover enough to cope with strenuous physical exercise than to manage everyday life.

Thanks for this, it’s all a learning curve. Loving the whole experience though. This forum is so helpful
