W5R2 done

Proud of myself, I did it, I struggled with my breathing despite not pushing too much.

Part of it is due to my lungs which suffered whilst going through cancer treatment...I won't let it stop me πŸ˜‰

I still can't believe I managed to run 2x 8 mins πŸŽ‰

Happy Easter everyone

Fab, well done. You will find when you run for more than 10 minutes your breathing will start to even out.

Well done you. This is my next run too! I have exactly the same problem as you after my cancer treatment. Sometimes I have to stop the panic as it feels as I might suffocate and then my breathing can go out of control. Apparently I have been told that my unaffected lung should be able to take over with time. As long as I stay calm I'm normally ok. We will get there! :)
