Good morning.
So I started the Magic 60-minute plan today and ran for 35 minutes.
My son, who is 14 and loves running, had very kindly made me a personalised podcast. Over a continuous mix of Pink Floyd, he announced the timings every five minutes and gave words of encouragement. (We’d discussed how it worked on the Laura podcasts and he’d somehow managed to emulate those without ever hearing them.)
The ‘funniest’ bit was after just 30 seconds when he announced ‘Well done. You’ve run 30 seconds. Only 34-and-a-half minutes to go!’
The run itself was slow as the Tuesday runs tend to be. Not sure if it’s the post-Parkrun anti-climax or something to do with having worked on Monday and still having a long week ahead.
I had to grind it out for the first half, but slowly found a way into it. But why did the Toxic Ten effectively double itself to a Twisted Twenty? I was tired but not dehydrated.
One plus was getting a ‘hello’ from a fellow runner. That’s very rare round these parts. And as with the kind words on this forum, every little bit of encouragement helps.

A little help from my friend
Run on the coast 😀
That was strange but I do like a plan
