Thank you Laura, I can actually breathe and run!

3 Replies

I have just come back from W5R1, in the local country park, and am amazed that I completed it it in a fairly dignified manner! I am now able to take a deep recovery breath during a run - this was an impossibility at W1, when I was wheezing away after 30secs. I'm scared to say this - but no injuries so far, and I can still walk after each run - I feel good!!

Well done ... it does feel better breathing :) so glad it is starting to come together for you. Like you week 5 made me realise I could do it if I got my pace and breathing right ... so keep it up as graduation starts to come into your sights :)
