W7R3... wobble

6 Replies

Week 7 run three, I thought I'd be ok, but ended up with back ache and aching legs, I couldent have upped the pace the last 1 min if you'd paid me. What's the difference, is it because it's warmer? Thinking that maybe I should repeat week 7 ?

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner.

Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Your running career will not be a inexorable upward curve.

Well done, you did it.

You did it and that's all that matters. If I were you I would carry on into week 8. You can do it - you've done it already. Some runs are just stinkers, I think. But I've never had two in a row....

Thanks for that, I've not had a bad run before, always so positive, so this kinda hit hard...noticed on my stats, heart rate up, pace down. Here's hoping it's just an off day eh?

I decided to repeat w7r3, and it was great, no problems at all, so w8r3 day after tomorrow, bring it on !
