Week 7 complete

I'm finally on week 8! My last two runs where quite interesting. Week7 day 2 was probably the best run I've ever had and was full of energy. Then the next day, my mild cold had turned into a full blown head cold but 2 Lempsips and a good night's sleep later, i felt much better so I went on my 3rd run today. This was absolutely awful and probably wanted to give up 70% of the time. I'm glad I completed it but I'm sure I've compromised my recovery.

Unto week 8(will probably allow my body to recover before I attempt another rund though).

Hello I am also on week 8 I have completed the first run of 28 mins. Not feeling 100% but ok. I am due to run week 2 today and part of me feels i need another day as I am still not 100% but that voice in my head keeps saying just do it you will feel better.

My head says give it time run when you are ready my heart says do it. So I sympathise completely.

You did so well. To run with a head cold is hard.
