W6R1 .....that was HARD!!!

How bizarre - after 20 minutes run on Saturday, today was slow and tough.... perhaps that was the problem - not enough recovery time.

Maybe it was the fact I admit listening to 80s cheese - but instead was listening to the news quiz!!

Ah well - onwards!!

It is your longest workout to date and just proves that brisk walking expends effort, as opposed to just being recovery time.

Well done.

I found it tough too. I was thinking as I jogged that it might be psychological... If I had been told I would run for 20 minutes today then mentally I would have prepared for that and just kept going. Perhaps this is why everyone says run 3 this week, 25 minutes non stop, is easier?

Not what you're looking for?
