Found this one tougher. I think it was cold and grey, and everything felt a bit like hard work. The ground was definitely heavy going from the rain, although I was on tarmac most of the time.

Still, it went fine and I’m getting ever closer.

Keep the faith Charlie, I'm one behind you and sometimes I find them tough too. But on occasion now, albeit only twice so far in the whole programme, I have found that about 12mins in, I find a"sweet pace" doesn't seem to have any logic to me, it's hoping to find that again that's keeping me going, even just to prove to myself I didn't imagine it 🙄🤔Good luck

I get it. The first few minutes are often tough, when you are not in the zone and the rhythm isn’t there. But I find in the last third it often clicks. If the music is right, the weather is warm and the park is pretty, it just works.
