Well done.

Please read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and don't worry about trying to coordinate breathing with running.

She will repeat it on your next run, but it doesn't work for a lot of people.

I really wouldn't pay too much attention to the breathing suggestion !

Most of us struggled with that .

Just breathe normally , you will soon find a natural by rythem 🙂👍

Yep as everyone says, find your own breathing style that works for you. I couldn't do it.

Don't worry about it- I tried it and nearly choked!- just relax and your body will breathe naturally- I don't even notice my breathing now.

Thanks I got all mixed up and seemed to end up breathing everytime my left foot hit the ground so I felt I was breathing tooo much 😀

I was doing the same thing- just relax and breathe naturally- go slow and you'll be fine.
