So today wk4 r1. How I managed that second 5 mins is beyond me. It seems to much harder second time round. May be it’s because I know in theory I can and have done it so the pressure is on. May be I just want that feeling of well that’s the first 5mins done it gets easier now rather than oh my word this 5 mins is awful
