After my victorious and glorious beetroot-faced Stepping Stone outing on Thursday I thought I'd give Speed a go today, which I just did.

Wasn't as bad as I expected (okay, feared) and it did it!!

Woop woop beetroot face \o/

Yeah it was really good - esp when a man who I would normally class as super fast* ran towards me on one of the fast bits and I realised I was going as fast as him step for step.

The whole thing definitely gives a good buzz and a real sense of achievement.

*that's using the snail pace scale 😉

haha well done, I love speed , it is a great workout and good if you are short on time
