Today was hard. I had an issue with my podcast and fitness app when I started and it seemed to scupper my whole run. I did complete it but haven't felt that bad since about week 4. I wasn't running faster or pushing harder than usual, it just felt difficult today. My fitness app said I'd burned 357 calories, which is my highest yet but boy, did I feel that today. Even my post-run stretches felt tough today. Maybe I'm just knackered?
Never mind - keep going

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.
Thanks for that. Interesting post. I feel I probably didn't drink enough yesterday and lack of sleep can be a problem at times. I will make a concerted effort to drink more water and get better sleep (this is not always easy). Onwards and upwards!
I swear there are Week 7 techno-gremlins Pigpog , as the same happened to me when I was doing C25K. It's just a blip, follow the advice given by IannodaTruffe and you'll be fine.
