Hello 👋. Well done 😃👍

Slow and steady is the way to go. No hurry, no rush, no pressure. Just slowly slowly and you’ll get to the end. You will be surprised at how quickly your puff improves 🙂

It’s a fab programme as many folks here will attest. It,opens up all,sorts of running doors

Make time to read the programme notes. See blue text on the right

Check out the advice from the linked post.. and as misswobble says.. slow and steady is the way.

Well done on going out especially at this time of year. Take it slow and steady - follow our mentors’ advice and you’ll be graduating in no time at all
