W7, R1-problems

Went for my first W7 run on Sunday and my legs and chest did not want to know and I had to give up after 5 minutes. Tried again this afternoon and managed 17 minutes, even the rain did not put me off. I refuse to be beaten so will be out again on Thursday.

Ah! Frustrating feeling. You'll get there- well done for sticking it at.

Well done for sticking at it.  Keep it slow and steady (as everyone always says) and good luck for Thursday

Happy running! :)

Argh, those difficult runs. You know it will all click and come right, just like the other runs did. I like your attitude. You will not be beaten.
