Went out running in the snow and wind today with the beanie hat and thermal socks on, Run 1 this week was tough I was sucking for air at the end of it, even though I was consciously slowing my pace right down. Today I was on the last 3 minute run and just started daydreaming looking at a point in the distance, I think this helps as it keeps my mind off my breathing and my body then sort of chooses the optimal breath technique, checked my watch and I was 2.30 into the last run and wasn't even out of puff! feeling great, to echo what everyone else says it's mad to think at the end of week 1 I really pushed myself to do a 1.30 run for the last one and was absolutely shattered.
Going to get myself some cheap running shoes for next week as I think I've crossed the threshold of getting enough reward out of running to not want to stop

Hi. Well done! Just the usual advice for the shoes... make sure you get a gait analysis done first. Most sports shops will do them, and for free so don’t pay. My new balance trainers were in the sale at £26 (reduced from £45 because they are a very bright shade of pink!) so no need to spend a fortune. Good luck!🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

Well done on going out, this weather is certainly a test of character and grit. get your gait checked before making an investment in the shoes - no point in spending any money if they don’t do your feet any good...
