Have just completed 20 minutes of running non-stop for the first time in at least 35 years! Must admit I wasn't looking forward to it .........putting the podcast on and then switching my brain to anything other than the run seemed to work for me - Laura does the thinking about the run for you πŸ˜€ Happy Days!

It makes complete sense - you need to have done it to realise exactly what you mean!

Well done. No going back now, don't think I will ever want to struggle doing 60 seconds again once I've done the 20 minutes. Starting week 5 Sunday eek! Keep up the good work x

Congratulations - I loved that high too. 20 minutes is a real achievement and shows how fast the body learns to keep up with what our brain decides on. Enjoy the next run!
