What magic is this?

I know this has been said a thousand times but I actually can't believe how well this programme works! Run 8 minutes twice this morning, and it wasn't a breeze, but it was doable, and wonderful, and I'm put out that I have to have a day off before I can do it again! Bodies are so clever, I never thought mine could learn to do this!

It is a running miracle that we turn from not interested in exercising to loving it. Sounds as if you have found a pace that is working well for you right now, well done. Exciting times still to come too but you can run for 2 X 8 minutes, I still remember being surprised I could do that. Keep going at a nice steady pace, looking forward to more posts soon
