A good practise run then! 2 day break sounds like a good idea, If afternoon runs are so hard slow them down a bit, it’s about time not distance at this stage, enjoy your rest days and good luck with your next run

What was it that caused you to stop during the run? Do you think you went a bit fast at the start? Was it hotter in the afternoon and you felt y comfortable? Did you psyche yourself out? It’s always worth thinking about what happened on the run so you can adapt for next time.

Well done on your practice run-there’s always something positive about every run you do. You’ve now just added a bonus extra run’s good stuff to your programme!

I was wondering as we seem to have been on a similar schedule, Crow277 ! I, too, did W5R2 in the afternoon because I had gazillion excuses in the morning (and regretted every one of them later, so made a mental note of that! 😉 ). It also seemed a bit harder because it was a bit warmer and more crowded. I slowed down a bit and that seemed to have helped...

I did miss the morning air! So, Saturday, I'll be back to a morning run for W5R3! 🤞
