Week 3 Day 2

Beautiful morning for today's run. I woke up early and just got up and went. It is such an amazing way to start the day although might not be as great when it's raining. I found the second run of week 3 a bit harder than the first. So to add some extra runs in for those that I skipped in Week 1 I am going to do five of Week 3. I just read another post about breathing as I struggle to breathe in through my nose and just end up gasping for breath but realise now I just need to do what's right for me and take it steady. I can't believe how much I am loving this and I look forward to the next run.

Well done! You are absolutely right with the breathing, you just need to do what is best for you. It's sounds like you are doing great!

I'm going to head out and do W3 R2 in a minute. It's a beautiful morning after all, which definitely helps! I also find it hard to breathe through my nose and am doing what's right for me too. We've both got this far so whatever we are doing must be working! :)

Strangely I found w3r2 harder on Friday than r1... That 2nd 3 mins was tough! I am going to try w3r3 this eve if I feel up to it, just finished night shift so don't anticipate it feeling easier but want to have another go. I'm not sure why but I'm finding I find early evening runs easier than the morning ones. And as for breathing, well I'm just kind of glad if I am still breathing at all at the end of it at the moment... I tried Laura's in for 4 and out for 4 that she talked about on week 2, but was concentrating so hard on that that I nearly tripped over!!
