Just get your music blasting in your ears and don’t think how long you have! Sing along to your music to take your mind off the clock 👍 you can do it! 💪

Maybe a dumb question, you can listen to your own music whilst listening to the podcast? I’m abit over the crap music that I’m made to listen to 🙄

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 didn’t carry on. Feeling very happy now.

I did the same on Saturday, felt fab afterwards and I wouldn’t have believed I could run for 25 mins. Doing the next run tomorrow, I’m hoping it will get easier!

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