It is your longest workout to date........which bears out my contention that overall duration, whether running or walking, is highly relevant to the explanation.
After W5R1 there is an obvious psychological boost and a possible belief that one twenty minute run does a runner make............. it's the same as swallows and summers........
Well done.
