Running 20 minutes a day isn't a challenge for beginners - but if you've already got a few kilometres under your belt, it could be the way to level up your cardiovascular fitness, motivation, and start your day on the right foot.
I ran for 20 minutes a day for over six months. While I started running for the first time over six years ago, I'd never been consistent. I decided to change up my routine after finding that although I could lift heavy weights, I was out of breath when I ran for more than 10 minutes. With reminders about heart health ringing loudly in my ears, I switched up my routine.
