Starting Week 2

I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier the running felt this morning. I was tired from dancing last night, but once I got into W2R1 it wasn't so bad. I got so engrossed in the running, that I actually ran too far, and ended up having to walk quite a long way home after the podcast ran out! I measured the route I took in the car and I walked/jogged 2.5 miles - I'm Gobsmacked! That is a real achievement for me. I did find it difficult to get the breathing right that was mentioned in the podcast. I have trouble with breathing. When ever I have done meditation or yoga, I just cannot get the breathing right, and end up feeling spaced out. I do have a problem with my lungs - my lung capacity is not great as I have bronchiectasis - so to breath in for four and out for four just didn't happen!! Some advise about this would be really helpful. Now cannot wait for my next run - bring it on!

Well done on your achievement. I couldn't follow the breathing pattern either. I think you need to go with your own body and breathing pattern. What works for one person won't suit another. I find its when I have to think about breathing that I struggle, having asthma if I don't have to think about breathing I am happy. Good luck with your next run and enjoy your rest day.
