Just completed W5R2 hard but just about managed

What's with the huge leap to R3 being 20 minutes?

Is Laura mad?

It does feel a bit like she has gone off her rocker I know, but honestly take it slow and steady and you will do it. Laura knows us better than we know ourselves sometimes ;)

It's an important milestone and shows you how far you've come and what you can achieve. 8 to 20 minutes is a big step but you did it so now you know not to be scared when you're asked to do a bit more. W6 can be rather surprisingly hard so don't worry if it proves a challenge. You are on the home straight and you will now steadily build on you running up to graduation. Well done! πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’πŸ‘£πŸƒπŸΏ

Trust in the program and you WILL be fine, this comes from one who finished W5R3 on Sunday and believe me if I can do it anyone can, you'll feel on top of the world when you finish. Keep going, slow and steady and let us know when you've done it so that we can all congratulate you. :)
