W2/2 breathing!

So I have now completed week one and done 2 runs in week 2. Found them surprisingly enjoyable, although if I try counting my breaths , I end up gasping for air! If I don't think about my breathing, I'm fine.

Today is also June 1st so with over £400 in sponsorship, I now have to walk (or run) 10000 steps a day.

I really hope that as well as benefiting Cancer Research, my overall fitness levels take a huge leap up!!

They might do if you stick with it. It takes time though, so patience will be required 🙂✔️💪👍

Just breathe normally. Go very slowly and preserve your puff 😃
