Hang in there, you can do it! If you really find it a struggle you can always repeat one of the runs a couple of times before moving on, but you will most definitely get there in the end :)

Best shot is all you can ask of yourself. But I suspect you might find yourself strangely surprised and pleased with yourself, and that's if you have to repeat the week!

You can probably still hear the whoops from those a coupl eof weeks ahead of you echoing around the blogs.

I had my one failure on Wk5 run 2 and was fine Wk 5 run 3.

Just take it slow and easy, its about going twenty minutes not how far or fast you do it.

Enjoy!
