Well done SilvaS, it’s only 2 mins more, think of it as half a song 🎵. Take the running parts nice and slow, try to relax, you’ll run a lot better.

As I say to most people, one of the most important things I’ve found is to get your breathing into a good steady rhythm. Nice deep breath in through your mouth (not too quickly) then purse your lips slightly as you exhale, if you’re taking in sufficient oxygen, you won’t feel so out of breath. Your body is like a machine and the oxygen is your fuel.

Good Luck 👍
