Hehe one way to make me run. It was so hot I didn't go until after 9 pm. I went a route I use regularly and it is mostly open paths but there is a part that is quite wooded. Just as I got to the wooded part a man came round the corner and he was in dark clothing and made me jump, I had just started the second 8 minute run. Last time I did this run I didn't make it but this time I shot through, must have been the adrenalin that kept me going. Got to face that 20 minute run again now.

That would have frightened the life out of me! The 20 minutes is less bad than it sounds - go for it!

Will do guys, felt quite good about last nights run. strong and reasonable pace, probably fear induced but i now feel positive i can do.

That spooking sounds safer than my plan of a rabid dog chasing be to increase my speed ;)

Well done you
