My breathing is still awful.... Thank heavens I can turn the music up so I don't have to listen to myself. The last few minutes I really had to push..... But I DID IT!!!! This program really really works!!!!! I'm still a plodder & will never beat the land speed record ... But to run 25 & still be alive feels AWESOME!!!!

Well done Lisa, another successful run done, puffing and panting notwithstanding. I'm always going to be a plodder too but, you know what? I just don't care. Im simply amazed to be this far through the programme and still going strong. Go us!! We're fab! Xx

Thank you Treemouse!!!! I never ever thought I'd be able to run for 25 seconds let alone 25 mins!!!! It really works.... Good luck & stick with it xxx

Well done, graduation is on it's way. There is a lot to be said for being a plodder - I tried a podcast today where you have to keep to the beat - No! No! No! It didn't suit me at all - I like plodding. Good luck with your next run and very best wishes - just keep plodding and you'll likely get there a lot quicker!
