It was tough today

[Moomin63]

The earliest I could get out today was 9am. I tried to go earlier, the alarm went off but I just needed that extra 30 mins sleep. Anyway I did my warm ups and then got going but found it was really tough today. I’ve heard that you can have rough days for no rhyme or reason and mine was today. I felt like swearing at joe whiley when she said right times up get ready for your next run! I seriously didn’t think I’d be able to make that last 5 mins but I did. Don’t ask me how! Just hope it’s better on Thursday which will be my last run for W4!

Hi Moomin63 ...firstly, congratulations on your progress so far, you are doing brilliantly...what you’ve heard though is correct, some runs are tough and there are many, many reasons that can make a run tough, but my guessing with this one today is the heat...it’s hot, sticky, humid and just generally uncomfortable...and that’s just for going to the supermarket!!! I am absolutely pants at running in the heat and if I know it’s going to be warm on run day I get up with the birds...as early as I can to make the most of the cooler air..if I don’t quite manage it I wait til evening...don’t beat yourself up about it, we all have them so you’re def not alone and the ads runs make the good runs feel so much better x

Sounds like me...i start sweating straight away!! My favourite is running in the rain...I could do with my own rain cloud when I’m running 🤣

I think definitely the weather! I got out for the same run at 7.30 this morning and found it tough. Can't imagine how hard it would have been later. When I finished and did my stretches sweat was dripping off my face all over the floor! Well done for going out and getting it done in this heat. 😅
