Hi, I did the same run this morning. The first 8 mins seemed to fly! The programme is definitely getting us fitter! Good luck for the 20 min stint!

Good luck for your W5R3 :)

That's the run I did today too!

You should be extremely proud of yourself for completing W5R2, its a very impressive achievement.

Good luck for W5R3.

It's great when Laura comes in and says you've done longer than you thought - well done! :)
