5 times not being able to do the 28 minutes without multiple stop had me all but giving up!

This morning I decided to play a trick on lovely sarah m! I set my run to week 5 run3... 20 mins.

And I ran through till she said walk, and I kept on running through the warm down 5 mins, and I switched to Runkeeper and carried on for 3! 28 mins!! No stops!!!

And I felt I could have carried on too!!!!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!

Brilliant 😂 well done!

The mind sure is a weird and wonderful contraption. When I’m struggling, I repeat over & over ‘I love running’ as Jo told me to do. And it just works! 🤷‍♀️

Ha ha! I do that to get me thru except I chant - yes you can, yes you can in time to the music (in my head - not out loud!) 😂

Not what you're looking for?
