I did it and it was relatively easy. I forced myself to start really slowly and it worked, I even sped up in the last 2 minutes!

You’ve got the idea taking your snail with you. 🐌

There is no rush to run quickly. You’re just concentrating on running for the allotted time and building running legs. Snail away as much as you like, and if you find you’re struggling ever, slow down to sub snail pace. 🐌

You’ll love the 20 minute run! Good luck with it - you’ve got this! 👍

Good luck 😃 I’m doing W4R2 tonight so once you’ve done this run, any advice you have would be great

Extremely slow is just perfect pace... that’ll develop your stamina and as strength builds later you’ll speed up. Enjoy the 20.
