As you start
“This is a beautiful day for exercise, I could run for ages”
“Actually, this really easy, I could totally do a marathon”
When you hit the first hill
“How long have I been at this? 5 minutes?! It feels like an hour”
“How soon can you hit the wall?”
After you get your second wind
“Okay, stop moaning and just get on with it”
“Actually, that Mo Farah lad, I reckon I could beat him if I trained as often as he does”
Close to home
“Should I say hello to the runner coming towards me? No… can’t breath, I’ll wave instead”
“I think I’ve burned enough calories to have a bit of a blow-out this evening”
In the home straight
“You know what? That wasn’t too bad actually”
“Now for a cold shower before the pizza comes”
