After my vaccine I was so lethargic so took a week off running. Went out for a run last Saturday and couldn’t even do half of what I normally would and felt sick so left running till today ( 2weeks after vaccine) Today’s run was slow and hard but I managed to run for 28 minutes straight so am so happy to be back on track need to start looking at my pace now 🥰

Well done.

You are on W8 of a training plan designed to be undertaken at an easy conversational pace........the pace that builds, stamina, strength and endurance.......no need to go any faster.

Yes, I felt a bit grim after mine too, it doesn't last long but I'm still not pushing too hard.,

I had my vaccine on Friday. I normally run on Sunday so I went out this morning as usual and really struggled. My breathing and heart was all over the place. Even had to walk up an incline. Hoping next run will be better. Xx

It will be the vaccine doing it’s work x give your body the time it needs to adjust before going back out xx
