W7R2 done

[backintime]

And, for some reason, it was harder than w6r3 and w7r1 which are both exactly the same, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

On the plus side, 7 runs left and I didn't have to slow down to finish.

Onwards & upwards

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

Well done you... relax into the longer runs now... let the newly forming running legs do their own thing.. ! x

[backintime Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

It was the legs that were a problem today, they just felt tight, might have been the two hour walk I did yesterday or it might have been my asthma which is allowing my muscles less oxygen, either way another one done.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to backintime]

It could have been that walk...the air quality too could be affecting your asthma... but you did it.. just take care xxx

Sometimes runs are just…tough! There’s sometimes a reason to be found. Sometimes it’s just one of those days. Really done for getting through it. That’s a great thing to have in your toolbox. We’re tougher than we thing we are! 🏃‍♀️💪🏃‍♀️

The music helped today - it was a good distraction

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate in reply to backintime]

Music has magic powers sometimes!

Ain't we just! x

[Sandie1961 Graduate]

As you say, onwards and upwards. We all have tough ones. Just chalk it up to experience!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie. How are you doing?

[Sandie1961 Graduate in reply to backintime]

Good thanks. Running 3 times a week and looking forward to my first 10k race this year next month. Not as fast as I used to be thanks to endless colds over winter, but hopefully working back up again!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Sandie1961]

Sounds like you're doing great on the running rollercoaster of fitness

I work from home 100% now and I while I miss the human contact and the occasional lunch out, I don't miss the shared viruses

[Sandie1961 Graduate in reply to backintime]

My last couple of work contracts before I retired were based at home. I sometimes begged to physically attend meetings rather than dial in just to have social interaction, but, on the whole, it worked well because I had projects in different geographical locations.

how long between runs did you leave it?

I had a bin run on week 5 run1! Run two was much better! Why? looking over the two runs what was different! My W5 R1 I had enter a road run! It was much later in the day no warm up no stretching and a very fast start! Plus it was quite hilly! W5 R2 plan the route I was worried I couldn’t do it however I did slow the run part and managed it!

Try looking at your to runs and see what sticks out for you!

[backintime Graduate in reply to BGood]

Between w6 r2, w6r3, w7 r1 I have one day break, then a two day break to w7r2 - all on treadmill

I honestly don't see much difference, I think it's just the two hour walk the day before (everywhere has hills here ) and the pollen triggering my asthma.
