Teaching second graders incremental improvement through running a 5K in under 35 minutes is feasible.

“She's like, "You know what? I want to teach atomic habits to all the second graders because the concepts they all can understand."”

“She's like, "You know how I'm going to do it?" I'm like, she's like, "I'm going to have all our second graders run a 5K in under 35 minutes." And that interest. I'm like, "Oh, no." Okay. the parents are not going to like that, right? That's too hard. Back to high standards. They don't want struggle, fail it. Where's that road to success part and what percent are going to make it? And so I was, she's like, "Don't worry, it's to I can do this."”

“And then the next time they ran a quarter lap, walk the rest. Next time, half a lap, walk the rest. By December, right, all the kids are running the race.”

“She sits down with the second graders first day and is like, "Who who can run a 5K?" And they're all like, "That's impossible, Miss Faith."”
