Thanks to the fantastic encouragement and advice of the experienced folks on this forum I slowed down a bit today and decided to be more positive and less hard on myself - I surprised myself and actually found the run a lot better and not so exhausting - wouldn't go so far as to say I'm enjoying it though, but definitely feeling that it is manageable and weirdly looking forward to r3

Slowing down to the recommended easy conversational pace makes it more achievable and for most, more enjoyable.Keep running, keep smiling.
