Found the answer for my breathing... chewing gum. Chewing like a cow eating grass but it stopped me thinking about my breathing. All went well. Last 5 mins I ran for 8 instead as was comfortable. Yipee.

Nice one. Distracting the mind stops the stress. And you’re alive, so breathing worked!

Good job.
