Bizarrely it gets easier the more you progress. Don’t make the mistake of looking ahead (we all did it and fears were unfounded), just take each run as it comes, push through and hopefully enjoy some of them! 😊

Hi Terry! Welcome to the forum! I'm so glad that you're enjoying the runs and took on the challenge without being put off by your asthma. Absolutely well done for completing W4 and there's more of those great feelings to come too. Enjoy! We look forward to hearing more! ❤️
