As above, possibly the most comfortable I've felt (still felt minging though tbh),best time and longest run todate ended up doing 32 mins cos phone kept ringing(I was meeting someone but they turned up at mine early) and it must of cancelled Laura just when she told me 1 min left,I kept thinking "Bloody hell this is a long 60 secs"

Anyhow I feel like a runner now as I've got "Joggers Nipple" to go with everything else,

So 2 more and I can get back to the couch !!

Faster is not necessarily better.
