Just completed W8R1and found it quite hard going.

I seemed to be anticipating when the times were being called out which made the run feel like it went on forever.

At least I will know better next time 🙏

Very well done to you! Try to relax now into these lovely longer runs... let the new legs take you... look around, think of other things, sing, hum, make up names for things you see... and enjoy.

Do too. up some of your rest day exercise a bit too... the running body, not just the legs, needs some TLC as the runs get longer !
