I just ran for 20 mins, can't quite believe it. Supported by a bit of Samuel Barber!

I've surprised myself already so I'm determined to do it.

Nicely done, brief post for a big run....

jancanrun - next week looks strange?! Seems to be foot off the pedal and then back on it big time at the end of the week?!

It is fine... each run prepares you for the next... it is all about control, mental running discipline and continuing to take it slowly and steadily :)

Just believe in yourself and KNOW you can do it:)

Congrats, you just broke the mental barrier. Repeat after me:

If I can run for 20 minutes, I can run for 25,

If I can run for 25 minutes, I can run for 28,

If I can run for 28 minutes, I can run for 30.

Enjoy the grin you no doubt have, you've earned it.

Adagio for strings? You'll be fine on your runs if you just take them nice and steady. Your music choice should keep you chilled out nicely

have fun!
