I’ve been really enjoying running for the first time ever. After week 4 run 1 I felt amazing, it was difficult but I managed it.
I went out yesterday to do run 2 and was feeling good about it. The first 3 minute run felt fine then about halfway into the 5 minute run my legs just started aching to the point I had to stop at 4 minutes.
I managed about half of the next three minute run then couldn’t do it anymore and I walked home. My legs felt so sore and even the walk home was difficult.
Has anyone else felt the same? I’m not sure if I was just tired or if the wind was making it more difficult but I’m scared to try again now.
