Hi guys! Thank you very much for the lovely answers I received in my previous post! Due to them I was able to finish the 20 minute jogging slow and steady as it is supposed to be =D This is such a milestone to me, as last year I had pericardial effusion and it left my breathing muscles really weak, so I am really proud and thankful to this community for achieving this!

Wow, that is awesome, well done. My breathing is so much better since starting running and slow and steady allows us to enjoy the run time! Week 6 is a bit of a challenge but if u can do week 5 u can do it! Run, breathe, rest, repeat - all the way to graduation - eek!!
