Nailed it! W5R3

Did I really just do that! Run for a whole 20 minutes without stopping. Big grin on my face. To think 5 weeks ago I thought I was going to die after just running 1 minute. This programme really works!

Congratulations to you for running week 5 run 3 non stop 🛑 I bet you feel very happy about that 🏃😊, a lot of people think they are going to die running week 1 run 1 for a minute , so far no one has.

Woohoo! Week 5 in the bag!

A word of caution that week 6 is deceptively difficult. Take it as it comes, it might be tough but you can do it. 😊
