No, you just have to find another 4 minutes in your legs after the second 8 min, but the good news is you don't have to do the extra walk in the middle.

Youre ready Patrick, just keep doing what youve been doing so far . Just a gentle jog , one foot before the other and keep going . Slow and steady. 

I must be honest with you, the thought of this run gave me a couple of sleepless nights . I thought it must be a mistake, 20 minutes of runnning ????

You are going to feel so proud of yourself when you have completed this one. Its definitely a major milestone in the programme , a real turning point . 

Good Luck, you can do it ! :-) xxx
