Hia all ...hope you are well ! Ran this morning and I have to admit it is getting tougher . Tiredness and recovery seem to be taking longer . I might need two days between runs at the stage .My legs are heavy . At least I got to run before the weather changes. Week 9 looms with excitement . . 3 more runs left. Resting the legs now . Speak soon. . .

Congratulations on your progress!Heavy legs is often a symptom of dehydration !

And nothing wrong with 2 days rest !

I did this after week 8 run 1 as I was slowly recovering from injury

Two days rest if needed is fine... your running and your pace.

Do make sure you take the advice rehydration too and a healthy eating regime. Fuel needs putting in to get the power out

Also maybe, up your core strength and stamina work on some of your rest days... the running body needs work on it to keep it running ( ha ha) smoothly!

As the runs get longer, the body needs the extra input

Loads of ideas on the S and F Forum... including some links which I posted

Slow and steady and on you go.

Well done you!
