Hot

Tired

Legs like lead

Music not working

Praying for Jo to say “and your done”

Putting this run down as horrid but stuck with it and finished.

Hoping run 2 goes better.

Happy Sunday running everyone 🏃🏽‍♀️❤️

Well done for finishing - it’s a feat when you feel like the run isn’t going how you’d like it to and it’s physically harder than usual.

The next one will feel better. I had a run like yours on Friday morning and was a bit “shall I/shan’t I” this morning. Went out, ran & it was SO much better than Friday for no obvious reason. I’m sure you’ll be fine on your next run 😊

Thank you. That’s so good to hear.

I was a total mess when I got home but still relieved to have finished the run at least. Even going downhill was hard this morning and like you say, no obvious reason for it being so hard.

I am really enjoying this programme and I’m determined to complete the whole challenge. This morning was just one of those OMG run. Roll on Tuesday for run 2

I’ve just done W8 R1 and it was hard. But the important thing is that I did it. The finish line is in sight for us. Keep going, S

Completed it very badly, but it was done Caroline lol. I’m not sure my body knows what’s hit it these past 7weeks. I think it just likes to remind me I’m not 25 anymore hahahahaha.

That sounds like a tough one VP67, well done for sticking with it and getting it done, next one will be better, maybe you need an extra days rest 👍

I always take a couple of days before the start of a new week - it might have been the weekend effect hahahahaha.
