All suggestions would be hugely welcome.
Thanks!

I took like five min after every block. Then towards the end it was 10 to 15 min. Just enough time to run out and pee out all the red bull. Then go to the locker, drink some more, and go back in for the next block.

I skipped the tutorial to get the extra 15mins.
Breaks : 5,5,5,15,5,10,10 with an extra 5 in case u overshoot.
The 5 min breaks were just to stretch my legs, get a sip to drink and go to the bathroom.

That aint a bad way to do it...but only prob is that i dont drink red bull
Guess short breaks early and longer ones later sounds pretty reasonable.

The last thing you want is to be squirming in your chair half way through a block

yep. what I do after every block is that first i go to the bathroom then take a long swig of iced coffee I've stashed inside my locker. During Step 1, I had a huge jug of Iced coffee that I left in the car. During my 30 minute lunch break I went out and refilled my canteen.
taking breaks gives you the chance to stretch your legs and back and also to empty yer bladder. You could also wash up if you want. Eat lots of sugar rich foods to feed you glucose-hungry brain cells.
