Well I did it, 4 days after my last run I ran for 26 minutes non stop, struggled in the middle part but then found my pace and stride and felt good. Helped by a brilliant Springsteen playlist, the song that got me over the line?, Born to Run of course!!!. For the first time I now believe I will do this.😁😁😁

Well done Chris, good effort mate. A bit of self belief is all it takes.

My turn on Sat, looking forward to it even after a not so good session today..R2

Happy running πŸ˜ŠπŸƒ

You will do it, I started slow and gradually speeded up, also chose a route where I knew the end would be downhill 😁
