Hello 👋. Well done 😃👍

Slow and steady is the way to go. No hurry, no rush, no pressure. Just slowly slowly and you’ll get to the end. You will be surprised at how quickly your puff improves 🙂

It’s a fab programme as many folks here will attest. It,opens up all,sorts of running doors

Make time to read the programme notes. See blue text on the right
