I feel like i want to express what a great run i had earlier, the first run of week 5. It was hard at times but i realised that my technique had improved.
On my last run I noticed i was leaning forward slightly while running. I now try to keep my back straight (but relaxed) when running which seems to help. Perhaps i can breathe better that way which helps overall. And talking of breathing i really feel that has also improved. I have always had trouble relaxing my breath. I'm an anxiety sufferer and have to consciously control my breathing which i don't find easy. When i run I've had trouble breathing deeply instead taking quick shallow breaths. It feels like my breath runs away from me if that makes sense. But today i did really well and most of the time i wad breathing slow and deep. This definitely improved my run.
I guess i just felt fitter in general. At times it felt like i was floating which sounds a bit mad but it was relaxing. Dont get me wrong i was still glad it was over! But it was a great improvement from the last couple of weeks. Just wanted to share
