YIPEEE i actually managed to run for the full 5 minutes... WITHOUT stopping 😁 and i am actually managing to push through the burning calf sensation & it's actually getting better. Think some new Asics running Gel insole shoes may have helped too 😁. Anyway i was so chuffed i actually shouted woohoo when i finished 😂

Well done you! Keep up the good work. I’m on W2D3 tomorrow and 90 seconds seems like a marathon! 😂

Well done, it feels amazing doesn't it! Shouting and singing are actively encouraged - anything that keeps you going :) I once swore all the way through one week, but it got me through and on to the next - whatever it takes! Good luck getting to the end :)

Just done W4R1... can’t believe ran for 5 mins without stopping. Don’t think I’ve ever done that... even at school (30 years ago). Glad I picked this app up. Givien me confidence to do more. Keep pushing ... we’ll done!

Great work, I remember how much a struggle it was for only 60 sec but before you realise you will be running for 25 mins ... keep it going
