Isn't it just amazing just how fast your body decays when you get lazy? Indeed! I wasn't expecting it to be this bad though. Didn't feel like ...

Beasts, all of you.
First training of week 8 after a weekend of way too much alcohol and not enough sleep.
8.5k @ r24 2:13 average split. (Did 8k in 2:12 last week and felt way better then)

(29m; 1m80; 78kg) Currently in week 6 of the beginner plan. 7500 m r24 2:10.4 average. I see I have my work cut out to reach anything acceptable in terms of speed an...
