Week 3 complete

[1slowcoach]

Can't decide if today was easier than R2 probably because it felt a lot cooler this morning. I seem to struggle with my breathing when it's cold. It feels like my chest is tightening the further I go with it easing on the walks. Not sure how I'm going to get on in the coming weeks if the temperature drops further.

I don't think my breathing truly stabilised until around week 5, to be honest!

Regarding difficulty in the cold. I know you can buy these funky scarfs (called "buffs") for the winter months. They are like a snood, and you pull them up over your mouth. Thus, the air you breath in is warmer, as you have a buffer, I think!

I've already changed to breathing through my nose and out through my mouth after reading advice on a running Web site but not sure I'd cope with covering my mouth. Will give it a go though but think I might get too overheated with something round my neck.
