Just get your music blasting in your ears and donโ€™t think how long you have! Sing along to your music to take your mind off the clock ๐Ÿ‘ you can do it! ๐Ÿ’ช

Maybe a dumb question, you can listen to your own music whilst listening to the podcast? Iโ€™m abit over the crap music that Iโ€™m made to listen to ๐Ÿ™„

Well I did it. Very warm and I had to push myself for the last 5 minutes. I just kept thinking that the first 20 minutes would have been for nothing if I didnโ€™t carry on. Feeling very happy now.

I did the same on Saturday, felt fab afterwards and I wouldnโ€™t have believed I could run for 25 mins. Doing the next run tomorrow, Iโ€™m hoping it will get easier!

Iโ€™m hoping it gets easier, I changed my route but not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
