So, week 4 started this morning. I can waste 5 minutes on all sorts of stuff which fly by...but it felt long on the second run!! Think Michael has his timings all wrong. Did it though.

well done you! It is amazing isn't it how that 5 mins can feel so long

I have been with Michael since week 3 and I'm thinking of changing to Laura. I don't find his tone very encouraging lol maybe she will be able to make those 5 mins feel faster...

Michael seems rather strict, but only switching to Sarah if she calls me 'pet'!

I agree but that makes me more determined not to let him down.

Well done , I’m not looking forward to that 5 minute feeling next week but very well done you!

To be honest, my method was to not think about it. I just did what Michael said when he said. Lots of others have done it and we can too!!

😂😂 I have just done week 4 run 2 this morning and I thought it felt long too! I just kept saying to myself think of all the graduates that have done this and kept going 😊 I did find the 2 1/2 minutes walk in the middle went very quickly though 😬😬
