Hard to begin with but seem to be ok now I have a good rhythm for running and breathing which I guess is more than half the battle. Not quick but speed I hope will increase over time

I started trying to go too fast in weeks 6 and 7. I've slowed down again, and strangely that makes me faster overall. Try and work that out! Moral of the story is don't worry about how slow you're going :) having a good rhythm is a great position to have reached (I think I'm yet to reach that!)
