Reading a few more posts...as you do! I did, to my great amazement and joy do the 20 mins yesterday as you know, but I didn't find it easy...the 5 to 2 mins to the end I could have easily stopped but by the last 2 I knew I could do it. Should I repeat that one to see if I do it easier or am I ready to move on? Don't wanna go go regardless if i only scraped through!!

Definitely move on. I didn't find it easy either. The programme is well designed to push us forwards, out of our comfort zone, but you have proven you can do it so on to the next run. :)
