I just ran it. Sitting at desk SWEATING! 25 minutes without stopping.
Felt it in my legs and think I'll be sore tomorrow. Wanted to quit at various times but would just start playing mind games with myself -
You've run longer than this before. (somewhere past 10 miutes)
Okay, ten minutes left. You can run ten minutes. You did it two days ago.
Five minutes left. You're a huge pansy if you quit with only 5 minutes to go.
And so on and so forth.
After yesterday's cookie and mexican food fest, I needed this.
I'm annoyed at the hrm - I looked down at one point well into the run and and it was reading my hr as 55. :) So, my avg hr is falsely low and I probably burned a few more calories that these stats show.
Max hr: 187
Avg hr: 143
Duration: 37:57
Distance: 2.61
Calories: 269
Oh, and dropped my pace down a tenth of an mph after a couple of minutes. That isn't enough to really make a difference but I was struggling and it helped me mentally.

OMG - You did it!!!!! so proud. me? i've been sweating the 20 minute run at the end of next week . . .
you did great!!! cookies for everyone!
It's weird, you'll do fine with the 20 minute run. It just isn't that hard - I don't know why, but everyone on that forum agrees. Then you go back to intervals in Week 6 and they are awful! The longer runs are somehow easier. I'm glad to be done with the intervals.
And thanks! :)
