Thanks. For me the aim is to carry on 2-3 40min runs a week until the new rugby season starts in September. Hopefully for once, I won't face the first match with a sense of dread.

My aim was always to get to 40 and tweaked the last couple of weeks to help me get there. Hopefully, when the new season starts in September, I won't face first match with legs of lead

Game day, from now on, is going to be an 80 minute interval session.
