Well that was hard!

Ran w6r1 today, I know some folks have struggled with this run. Not sure if it was this or the fact I worked 2 long 12.5 hour shifts which were really busy on the days before. Tried hard to keep up with fluids but it was hard to find the time to drink! Anyway mind over matter and managed to finish it. Won't be able to run again as on nights Mon to weds. Hope it's a bit better next run!

Congratulations that was a great effort after long shifts. Think what you will achieve after a calmer shift pattern.

Well done that’s a tough run even if not on the back of long shifts at work, the next one will feel easier i’m sure

You just completed your longest workout to date. Well done.

Preparation is half the battle.

If you cannot stop to hydrate carry a bottle of water with you at all times.

Adequate hydration is overlooked by many. It is a crucial aspect.
