WK7 R2 (HARDEST YET)

I really struggled with this run today. I wasn’t feeling at my best as I’d had a bad binge yesterday. No way was I going to give up though! It was a real hard slog, but I know I can do 25 min runs, so just got on with it. Once I ‘d recovered, I did feel better for doing it😊 Hope everyone has a good day.

Well done, you did it we all have times when things don't go according to plan. I sometimes feel like that and feel fantastic that I did it. Keep going and enjoy

Well done, you overcame all odds and felt better finishing. Happy 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done.

You know why it was tough and everything else 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.

Hi Cosmo501 thank you, if I can do it I’ m sure you can😊. I am running on a treadmill, which I know is quite a lot easier. I was aiming to start WK8 today, but just felt too tired and achey( probably due to fibromyalgia) so had another rest day.

Always good to have an extra rest day to let your body prepare for the next run! -- I went out earlier for a bit of a run, with walking in between, because it felt like there was no air to breath! Just too tired to do too much, but feel brighter for having done it :-) Hope you're feeling better soon, and enjoy your start to WK8!

Cosmo501 thank you, well done for getting out. It does feel quite humid today. I think we are also communicating on two forums at the same time😊
