W2 R2 ... ok ... 😐 a little harder today...

Just finished W2 R2 and so much harder than W2 R1, and not sure why? But diff’t parameters were: ran in afternoon 4pm rather than morning (won’t be doing that again), did not have lunch so possibly insufficient energy? Legs felt heavier (but did drink enough), back ached (maybe due to whole day in office chair?), ankles and knees good, but left foot fell asleep (tingling/blood flow?) at last brisk walk. Had to loosen shoe but whenever I put weight on it, started to tingle. Will have to completely re-lace shoe before next run, as somehow I must be cutting off blood circulation. Otherwise fine (and proud to have completed R2)!

Well done ! Apart from foot tingle your mail could have been mine from yesterday.

Last of W2 tomorrow morning and I needed my rest day today.

Anyway, you are not alone and look forward to hearing of a successful progression to W3. 👏👏👏👏
