Sooooo good to read this! I too did a (slightly altered version of) Week 5 day 2 now (to fit into my own music, so tming a little out!)

But, I'm not sure I am ready for 20 minutes straight! I'm willing to give it a go, but with the right mind set that I can and will do it, I'm just not too sure!

How did you feel after the 8 minute runs today? Did they leave you very out of breath?

I was out of breath but not struggling to breathe, legs a little heavy but on the whole not a complete mess lol
