Managed the w7r2 this morning, but found it harder!

This morning I completed the 2nd of the runs in week 7. Happy with my previous pace, but with ankle twinging I donned my ankle support and started my warm up walk.

I think that it is harder to run in the morning for me as I found it really difficult at around the 10 minute mark, I continued on and when the last minute was called managed to increase from 9.6 to 9.8km/hr, but boy I found it more difficult.

Next one will be outdoors, so we will see!

Go gently with that ankle, shinjin, you don't want to be watching 5x50 from the sidelines! You're going pretty fast too (mind you, I'm seriously slow, so I'm no judge really).

Thanks, I will take care.

The ankle seems OK at present and actually better after the run. I was going to reduce my speed today, but it seemed.

Although it was hard, I think this was more due to it being in the morning . We will see for the next run.
