I slowed down today and think my breathing feels a lot better for it! At the end of the 3 minute runs i felt like I could actually carry on running!

Hey, I’ve just completed the same and honestly could have run for a bit longer or felt like I could have done a walk then 3 mins! Actually can’t believe I’m even running! Good Luck 🤞🏽

It's crazy how quickly our bodies can adjust to new things!

Well done.

To test your pace is correct say this sentence out loud to yourself "Am I going slow enough to enable me to speak this sentence in one out breath?" If you cannot, you are going too fast.
