I can’t say the running is getting easier every time I go out and I have really been struggling. But went to my 1st ever Zumba class last night and realised I did an hours exercise without stopping. Light 💡 moment I have got this running thing I am going to succeed. 😊

I feel the same! I just completed W4D3 and the first 3 minute run was easy. This thing is definitely working!

Well done, you are getting fitter, but if you are struggling, do yourself a favour and slow down.

Stamina is built by running slowly with deep full breaths, not by pushing yourself to the limit.

Not what you're looking for?
