I'm back running after an injury I have repeated week 6 and I am now repeating week 7. I have 1 more run of week 7 to do this week then hopefully I will be able to move onto week 8 at last!!! I got to the last run of week 7 when I took 10 days rest and decided to go back to the beginning of week 6.
Today has been so hot so I put off going all evening after work, then had to eat, I waited just over 2 hours thinking that would be long enough for my evening meal to settle before heading out. π€’ big mistake will not be doing that again, heart burn, stitches and just generally feeling sluggish and heavy. But you know what at least I did it! And I was convinced I was going super super slow because of the heaviness but actually my pace wasn't that much difference to what it normally was so it just shows you what you think and what the actual reality is doesn't always match up.
Hope everyone's doing well and smashing those runs! Let's get to week 8,9 and beyond ππ»ββοΈπͺ π₯

Well done, Popstess ! You are continuing to do really well. You can definitely do this. Probably best not to run after eating, even with a gap. On one of my runs, I got a stitch and I'd only had water! It wasn't nice though so I sympathise. Good luck finishing week 7 injury free πππββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
Aw thank you so much Pigpog you are so supportive πππ yes I won't be doing that again in a hurry. Didn't like it one bit. Hopefully I'll feel a little lighter on my next run
Well done for restarting after your injury. It must have been tempting to delay it given the heat but even though you didnβt enjoy it, youβre back on the journey and thatβs half the battle I think after a break. Good luck with your next run ππββοΈ
Thank you Sulley101 i have to say I feel so frustrated that i haven't graduated yet BUT I'm happy that I can run again after 10 days on the IC. Onwards and upwards though and hopefully I will be there in a couple of weeks.
These long runs are tough though wowser rest day today for sure
