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 didnโ€™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!

Donโ€™t worry, Iโ€™m thinking Iโ€™ll probably have to repeat week 4 next week instead of going on to week 5, it doesnโ€™t matter.
