Sometimes Google Colab disconnects us from the runtime when the connection with our machine is bad, but the good part is that reconnecting the environment quickly allows us to continue the execution from the same point and not having to start again.

  1. In https://colab.research.google.com write down your code to execute in a session.
  2. Go to Developer options > Console in your browser.
  3. Paste the Gist code and run press Enter.

I'm not sure if this works anymore, just leaving it here as a reference!
