very muggy at 6 this morning in spite of thunderstorms last night
Back from a good plod 3.1 miles W5:R35:W1.5 for the first time in Cambridge I decided to explore some of the many cycle paths criss crossing the meadows behind the hotel - why have I not done it before?
actually I suppose the reason is that most of my Cambridge running this year has been dark winter mornings.
Now a question for all you medical peeps.What is the physiological explanation for the toxic twenty - it really does take 20 minutes for me to stop thinking 'I don't wa t to do this' and will the twenty qet less if I get fitter?

I'd never heard of the 'Toxic Twenty' before, but I'm afaid it holds true for me and I reckon I'm quite fit. 2 days after my long weekend slow 16+ miler, my work session run at a steady-brisk pace is a real effort for 2-3miles before I 'zone in' - roughly 20 minutes! Curious!
i think it depends on what type of training you do
it used to be 10 mins for me
now
i never warmup and since embraing long distance-its 20 at least for me too
