Jelly Lead legs

Completed W7R2 last night in wind and horizontal rain. Managed it but since upping length to 25 mins my legs either feel like lead or jelly......any advice welcome x

Have you properly hydrated, as it sounds like you could be running having drunk not enough water?

Ahh that could be it! Thanks 🙏

What a great description - jelly lead! Know this only too well 😀. As Imc50 says, make sure you’re well watered. I found week 7 pretty tough, but you do adapt, just believe! Best of luck 🤞😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Thanks think it is hydration issue....🤦🏻‍♀️

Heavy legs can be symptomatic of poor hydration. As a runner you need to drink a minimum of 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide.
