Week 7 Run 3 (Round 1)

[CobbleRunner]

Well not sure what went on there but this run defeated me. My lungs were on fire and I only managed 21 minutes out of the 25. Was it because I changed my route? Did I start off too fast? Is it because I’m on leave and have no stress to run off? And why was my bum bag playing up? Who knows! You win some and you lose some. Going to take 2 rest days and come back fighting for a repeat of this b****rd run on Wednesday 👍🏼

It happens to us all, we all get bad runs, it's natural.

You will ace the next one I bet 😊👍

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Hope so. Slightly disappointed but hey ho. I’ve found Week 7 tough.

[Hidden in reply to CobbleRunner]

Would you repeat it if you couldn't do it right?

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes will repeat until I feel comfortable 👍🏼

[Hidden in reply to CobbleRunner]

It's the best way.

[Bassmamma15 Graduate in reply to CobbleRunner]

Possibly better to repeat previous week till stamina improves. Don’t bob up and down running either, it tires you

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Bassmamma15]

I completed week 7 runs 1 & 2 so will repeat run 3 and move on. Will try to do less bobbing 😂

Lungs on fire...barring an allergy or illness, must mean way too fast I am afraid. You know what you need to do. 🐌

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Beachcomber66]

Yep I think you could be right. Will take it steady next time 🙂

[MoliJ Graduate]

Well done for managing 21 minutes. I am too scared to change my route 😂

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to MoliJ]

Haha I’m with you. I wasn’t as happy on this new one. Boooo!

[Hidden]

That's fighting talk CR it won't beat you next time out 👍 take that pace down a notch you'll nail it 🙂🙂

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It won’t. And you’re right, just had a look at my Strava stats and I was flying. Lesson learnt. Again! 😂

[Hidden in reply to CobbleRunner]

Haha I've lived that eagerness error CR easy on the throttle tiger goooooo sloooowwwwww

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😬

[Workingathome Graduate]

I definitely blame the bum bag 😂 It’s so hard to get the pace right isn’t it! it’s disappointing for you but I’m sure you’ll smash it next time!

Good luck for Wednesday

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

Haha yes defo the fanny packs fault 😂

[Roxdog Graduate]

Definitely too fast! I think in these later runs on the programme there's a tendency to speed up!

[CobbleRunner Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

I know. Such a numpty 😂
