I went out this morning thinking I would do 20 minutes, building on last week’s recovery runs. Just managed the full 30 and my best ever distance (1.98 miles, so don’t get too excited !) Startled but chuffed 😁

Whoooo hooo... maybe that’s because you just ‘did what you like’ yesterday?!! Well done!

ButtercupKidGraduate in reply to Kertesz

No idea ! I aimed for 20 because 15 was my best last week, but when I got to 20 my legs were still going, so I thought I’d let them carry on. And when Sanjeev said I’d reached 25, there didn’t seem any point in stopping ! Hoping I’m over the worst of the winter now 😄

If you’re legs are going, it’s always best to follow them... 😉 x

A great comeback! It just shows that keeping on chipping away, even with short runs, kept you ticking over. So pleased for you 👍💪
