Wow W5 R1 done . Not as bad as i thought it would be. Still cant do the breathing as Laura suggests I take a deep breath in through my nose and then breathe out through my mouth but end up gasping for air .Seems to make me more short of breath doing it that way.Does anyone else struggle with this ?

Well done! I most definitely struggle to breathe in the way they tell you to so I've given up trying as it makes me gasp for air too. Just do what works for you. You've come this far so you must be doing something right.

I posted a question a couple of weeks ago about breathing as I can't get enough air in through my nose at all! I breathe through my mouth the whole time I'm running and a lot of other runners are the same on here. I could never get the hang of Laura's breathing tips. Just do what is most comfortable for you!
