Well, I came very close to robot legs today... but not quite there yet 😂 I do have to say though, that at around minute number 22 I got a sudden Burst of energy and picked up my pace for the last 6 minutes of the run!!! So now I know I can do 28 mins!!! :) overall pace was slower, but I felt much better than I did on my last run!

5 more runs to the podium!!!!!

Just keep it steady... finding your happy pace often comes when you relax into the longer runs and don't try too hard.

Just start slow and sat slow... breathe gently. land lightly and just let the legs carry you.

Great stuff vlmiller..28 mins😊...

Start nice and slow to get your body nicely oxygenated and those robot legs will kick in I'm sure...

Go you ...onwards and upwards 😊xx
