AmandaW, I know it's bizarre isn't it? I really thought it would be a breeze today but obviously my legs had other ideas, wheras on Weds it was my head that struggled and my legs that were fine! Good luck with the next run!

Thanks :-) you too! It seems from the lovelies on here who've finished, that it gets a bit easier towards the end of the week - last interval run next time - eek!!! Hope someone brings us our legs back ;-)

I'm having similar troubles in week 7. Cardio wise I am flying, but it is definitely my legs holding me back. I ran for 25 mins earlier all the way needing to 'crack' my ankles. Seems like we could do with some advice from the experts!

did run 2 this morning. I felt it was alot easier that the first run that was tough. Though it did take me a while to get settled into it even considered turning back, but i copped myself on and kept going. I managed to run 3k over the 2*10 mins. Have my first 5k on the May bank holiday so hopefully I'll be able to get a bit further

Best of luck with the next run just remember you can do it
