Week 7 Run 2.... crash!

Too hot for me... I think I got too sweaty and my headphones just made a loud beeping noise which I couldn’t stop. Either that or it’s Mapmyrun playing up - put it on today out of curiosity. I should have just kept going until I reached home but it threw me completely and I stopped on about 24 mins. So frustrating. That’s my hardest run so far - needed to be much better hydrated for that. Never been so hot - felt like I was literally boiling. Can’t decide whether I need to do it again or whether just run 7/3. 🤷‍♂️

It was damn tough out there today... my hydration was good, but it was still a struggle. You missed about a minute... run 3 is the same length... do run 3 and then see how you feel, if we’re looking at less than 60 seconds it’s not going to make any significant difference so long as the other 3 25s are 100% done.

Great job in the heat... 24 gruelling minutes is pretty impressive when you think back to your first run!!!
