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

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

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