W6R2 - Breathing

Hi. Will be completing W6R2 tomorrow. Just wondering how everyone is getting on with the breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth? I just about manage it when doing the walking but struggle on the runs. Any tips would be gratefully received.

Don't worry about your breathing. Just do what comes naturally.

Hello, I too will be doing that one on Tuesday, I find breathing to my steps works, so ‘in in out out’, and I have my mouth open to get air in there too! It’s very hard to get it regulated, good luck 😊

(Ignore the graduate badge, that was years ago, started again!)

There is advice in the guide to the plan on breathing...........do what comes naturally.

I don't bother with the "in through the nose, out through the mouth" thing either.
