I’ve only gone and done it.... I’m slower than slow... people still glance over with concern that they may need to scoop me up at any moment, but I don’t care. I have completed the programme and gone from not being able to run 1 minute and can now shuffle/ run 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30!!!!!! Bonkers. 😍

Well I’m as slow as a slow thing on a go slow, but I’m out there encased in Lycra and starting week 5 tomorrow , it’s good to know that channelling the inner snail can get us there in the end , well done!

When I had the thought- perhaps I’ll buy myself a new Lycra item as a reward, I knew things had changed....🤣
