You can't help an injury, so try not to feel bad - easier said than done I know.

Take it easy, and I hope a little rest does the trick.

Hi Dave.

Bad luck on having a bad run, rest up and try again!

16 minute is a massive achievement bet when you started out you never thought you'd reach that far.

Well done for stopping rather than risking further although it must have been disappointing. When you've recovered you will smash it - if you did the 16 the 20 will be a piece of cake when you've regained your fitness. ;-)

Not what you're looking for?
