Hey all. Just got back from my first run of week 4. I was really dreading this one with the 5min slots in, given found 3min a struggle on previous runs. I’m so happy to have finished it. When it was getting really tough during 5min I slowed it right down to where I was probably on verge of walking but forced myself not to stop and just keep going. I’m still waiting on Laura to tell me to stop though each time haha. It feels brilliant though once finished! Yay! The slightly cooler weather this morning helped to push me along aswell not sure could of done it in recent heatwaves!

Don’t think I could go any more slower if I tried! Pretty sure saw a tortoise over take me at one point 🤣
