When does brain catch up with body?

Walking to the gym today for w7r1. Body was really looking forward to it, for some reason I thought it was 27 minutes to follow on from 25 minutes of w6r3, but brain was still telling me that it had 50 years of evidence to back up its assertion that 60 seconds is out of the question, let alone nearly half an hour. Fired up Ms Wiley to find out it was only 25 minutes today, body quite upset, it was really looking forward to 27 minutes and planning a sprint at the end, brain most relieved. Did the run, body loved it, but brain still can’t believe it. I wonder when it will catch up?

In 50 years?

only joking, I think it catches up when it becomes a habit (was true for me).

I laughed because the header of your post talks about Brian and not brain, makes it quite funny

Bugger, didn’t edit it in time, don’t you just love predictive text?

Yep, makes for fun reading sometimes

I remeber driving past my run route on my way to work for weeks after graduating and regularly running 5k and feeling amazed that I had run all that way.

Thats the real struggle at the latter stages of C25k convincing your brain that you can do it.

It's a strange one, I know I can do the 30 minutes and then some more but even now my head sometimes tells me I can't do it as I'm too fat and people will laugh, etc, I think it's just human nature which will hopefully disappear over time.
