Congratulations! The progress feels great, isn't it? Just slow and steady with persistence, and the program will lead us to unthinkable :)

It feels amazing! Considering I didn’t think I would manage the leap from 3 minutes to 5!!

Our bodies are amazing and things they can do when you work on something regularly :) Soon we will be running for 30 minutes!

Well done. It does get addictive! Never thought I would say that but you get a buzz when you’ve done it.

Did it - the route I planned in my head worked well and it stayed cloudy until the 5 minute cooldown

Don’t worry, I’m thinking I’ll probably have to repeat week 4 next week instead of going on to week 5, it doesn’t matter.
