Really struggled to do the whole 20 mins run so disappointed but did manage 15 mins which is ok I suppose 🤷‍♀️

Will try again to conquer the 20 mins in a few days time 🏃‍♀️💪

What made you stop at 15 mins? What were you physically feeling or was it a mental thing?

I think a bit of both as away at a caravan on a little family break so over indulging with food + drink so effecting physical and also unfamiliar surroundings for my run so feeling quite wary about that too. I shall conquer this run when back on home ground......💪🏃‍♀️💪

Ok, no worries. Were you out of breath when you had to stop?

ok, that's good. It's always a sign of going too fast, but doesnt sound like that was your issue.

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

Not what you're looking for?
