Well, it's day one of Project 20! This 20-week journey is my quest to break the 20-minute barrier for a parkrun. A couple of years ago, I managed to get my time down to 20:20, but recently I clocked in at 21 minutes. Realizing I needed some expert guidance, I reached out to Carl, my run coach, and asked if he could help me achieve my sub-20-minute goal. Today's episode marks the official launch of Project 20, and I'll be sharing regular updates on my progress over the next 20 weeks. Join me on this exciting adventure as I strive to reach new heights!
