CR9 - Felt like the worst run since graduation

This was a tough one. I'd planned my route and off I set. Within minutes of starting I wanted to stop. My legs were heavy and my breathing was laboured so I slowed down. I was going to completed my planned route even if I had to walk it. I felt as though I had walked a lot it but completed the planned route. I was very disappointed with myself but remembered the posts I've read on here. We all have off days and I'll just put it down to experience.

CR10 tomorrow.... 5K walk/run day.

Been there many times since running outside. Nothing for it but to get back in the saddle next time. Keep up the great work!

Well done, you got out there, and were determined to complete the route, even walking a bit, there's probably no one on here, who's not had a run like that, i was megga puffed out after my run, on tue evening, i think we're being told, how new to this we really are, and to take it slowly!!! 😀
