Iโ€™m finding it hard to believe that Iโ€™ve come so far in such a short space of time. Five weeks ago I struggled to manage a minute and Iโ€™ve just completed W5 R3! Yes, I was slower than Slowy McSnailface ๐ŸŒ but so what?! Onwards and upwards!

Well done! Itโ€™s an amazing feeling to complete that run considering where most of us started (puffing and panting for 60 secs max). Itโ€™s a milestone run and a great achievement. Good work!

Slowy McSnailface is bad-ass! :D Well done you, thatโ€™s brilliant. Do a happy dance, if youโ€™ve still got the energy ;)
