Fantastic achievement! I'm just about to statt W6 amd it's great to hear about people a bit ahead of me and doing a well!
I am borderline asthmatic, I have real issues in wet climate and during hay fever season when it gets triggered. I have discovered that I breathe more easily since starting the programme. It is like I am under Ventolin 24 hours a day. 😄
Well done! I have asthma too and It does gives us an extra challenge! Do you use your inhaler before you set off? I do - but still seem really out of breath throughout a run. Hopefully things will improve as I get fitter.
Yes... Some days I use inhaler the night before the run. Also I do drink hot water with Ginger. That too helps. Also I do strength training alternate days.
