Welcome!!!

Slow and steady and you will reach those thirty minute runs with little difficulty! Listen to your body, take your rest days and don't push too hard.

Keep posting too!

Thats because you have a new challenge every week. It doesn't seem easier because you are progressively doing more.

You are doing great, stay positive, you can do this!

Thank you so much, I am proud of myself for getting this far I was so surprised when I ran the 3 minutes last week and didn't have to stop for air! Woo hoo :)
