It feels amazing. It takes about 5 minutes for my breathing to regulate and after thatI feel like I could run forever in terms of breathing. My legs might disagree though. 😂. Loving this programme.

Well done !!! We have just done W5R2 this morning, I said to my hubby before we started I'm never going to run for 8 minutes 😔 and I was right ..... because I ran 2x8 minutes 😳. The first one was fine but the second one was harder think because I stopped jogging and walked and then had to start again ... so my thinking is can I go longer without a break? Sounds like your going to smash your W3R3 😃🎉

That's no mean achievement at this stage 😃 Just carry on slowly though! The only idea is to finish the session. Nothing else 🙂✔️
