Little easier this morning, although it did take me until about half way through the 2nd segment to get comfortable. Did find that my stride is opening up more and I seem to be "running" in a slightly different manner. More on the balls of my feet than the whole for ad before. What is the best way for feet to land???

Land anyway you like...if it feels right and comfortable..then do it... advice about breathing and footfall is so extensive and varied, it can, at this stage cause new runners real grief!

Sometimes folk try to change the way they run or breathe and it really hinders their progress. It always takes time to get going for all of us. at any stage.. the toxic ten...but you are beginning to find your own pace.. that is great :)

Well done you!
