After 3 great 25 minute runs that left me elated, todays run was a bad run. My legs were heavy, struggled to get into a rhythm and it seemed to go on and on and on. I got through it and I was surprised that it was the fastest run yet?? I felt like I was going so slow.
Onwards to week 8, and hopefully more good or great runs.
Enjoy your run today even if it's a bad run. Still feels great to complete it.

Heavy legs can be symptomatic of poor hydration. As a runner you need to drink a minimum of 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide.
Congratulations on getting so far in the program!!
Funny, I had the exact same thing with my final run for week 7 two days ago with feeling it was an awful run but it turning out to be my fastest time! Like you am determined to keep going today with week 8 despite being admittedly a bit scared! Totally agree it still feels great to have done it!
