Legs felt like lead today but phew, got it done. Glad I couldn't see myself though, must have looked like old lady running! Now for a nice breakfast

Well done you! I completed that run yesterday morning. My legs feel stiff and achey today. Enjoy your well deserved breakfast 😊

Heavy legs and feet can be a classic sign of dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids, even on non running days.

But well done 👍 you pushed on and got through it so congratulations!

That's a good tip, thanks. Probably not helped either by a week of walking in the peak district. A couple of rest days now

Well done! And forget the notion of looking like an old lady - you look like a determined runner 💪🏻 because that is what you are 😊
