Try using your foot steps to regulate breathing inhale on 1, 2, 3 steps and exhale on 1, 2, 3 steps etc... Try it on 2 or 3 or even 4 steps for the inhale and the exhale. IE: Inhale on 1, 2, 3, 4 step and exhale on 1, 2, 3, 4. Get a rhythm going. AND MOST IMPORTANT, Pace yourself to a comfy breathing rate.

Breathe, two, three, four πŸ˜ƒ

Just slow down and breathe normally. Don't worry, it will sort itself out

Slow down.. and at this stage. just breathe as if feels right for you. There is so much to think about at the start:)

Take it ever so gently and just breathe as gently. It does come, honestly... :) A bit like blinking... if you over think it..it all goes pear shaped :)

Well done anyway... follow the programme and keep posting your runs... :)
