Week 2 - Dumb Question!

I am confusing myself reading the description for Week 2.

At the end it says ' for a total of 20 minutes.'

Does that 20 mins include the initial 5 mins warm up walk? Or is that 20 mins for the alternate 90 sec run and 2 min walk only?

I assume the podcast will explain but its something I haven't used.

Many Thanks

Peter

I don't think it includes the warm up or cool down

According to the app it’s 5 min warm up, 19 mins, then 5 mins cool down (I think!😜)

As far as I can remember the 20 mins is the bit in the middle between the warm up and cool down walks. I just used to put on the podcast and do what Laura said-I abandoned looking ahead and reading the descriptions altogether, partly because if I look too far ahead it was too scary! 😃

There were a couple of occasions when I said

"What!?" to Laura out there on the pavement because I couldn't believe what she was expecting of me! - I always managed though. 😀
