20 mins is possible!

Because I have just done it! Week 5 over and done with.

So anyone behind me in the course don’t worry it is possible.

Thats just what I was thinking but actually if you just keep plodding on you get there. Though I will admit the hill (generous term for the long slope) nearly made me stop in the middle but I was over half way by that point so I wasn’t going to stop.
