If you have done your best to make sure that you can talk comfortably in full sentences while you run, try the second chatty running test.
Go gently enough so that you finish each run feeling like you could do it over again.
Chatty Running feels pretty effortless while you are doing it and it will leave you feeling energised and definitely not exhausted. You won’t have to collapse on the sofa and reach for the wine. Of course, you can still do that if you want to!
The best thing is that you will be left with plenty of energy to enjoy the rest of your life.
