W5R3 nailed it!

I was very nervous about this run thinking about running 20minutes all in one go. My pace was very slow, but I got through it feeling great and surprised when the 20min was over. I found that following the slow jogging tips and landing softly with the feet made a huge difference. I was also able to concentrate more on my technique because I was going slowly. It's definitely worth a try if you haven't already πŸ‘.
