In a few weeks you’ll be running 3, 5, 10 minutes and wonder how you struggled with 90 seconds! :)

It will improve- especially if you go slower! Good luck for the next run! 😀

50% harder! You’ll be surprised with the progress you’ll make over the next few weeks though. Keep it up!

In a few weeks you will be surprised that you can run for 20 minutes without losing your stride..or your breath :) Well done!

I remember that feeling so well. And also noticing the shrinking walking bits between growing runs. Yesterday I did my first 28 minutes non stop. The programme works! Enjoy the next one.
