And I found, again, a reminder myself that it's worthwhile staying.
And I often wonder if I didn't go for a run, you know, what would have happened?
So I think it is a lifesaver for me personally.
It certainly saved my life on that occasion.
Not specifically these trainers, by the way.
Not sponsored by Brooksies.
Specifically these trainers.
But what that represents saved me, I think.
You're a 5K man, aren't you?
You like to go for short runs, right?
5K, yeah.
You don't like to run London, but you like going out for...
I think the thing that was interesting in the 5K is that you need to run long enough to have the kind of endorphin, big dopamine release.
And they say that's like 20 minutes plus is where the key beauty spot is, right?
So I'd say to anyone, if you're starting out running and you're like me and you went for your first run and you could only do like a K, even though I felt like kind of good afterwards, oh my God, that was 10% of what I felt versus when I could do kind of 4 or 5K, right?
Once you're able to run for 20 minutes, doesn't need to be fast.
It can be super slow, whatever you want to call that.
Like once you get over that 20 minute mark, then you're entering the magic.
And I think I agree with you.
I think that 20 to 30 minute window of running is where it's at.
