Well I managed to complete W2R1 this morning. I’ve had to rejig my run days as my husband will be away part of this week, so effectively this run was a day early. I woke up with a headache and it was a bit of a mental battle to get out there. I’d say it was my least enjoyable run so far, but I’m glad it’s done.
The hardest thing for me is controlling my breathing. I feel like my legs are fine & I have more energy in the tank; but my breathing holds me back. I concentrate hard on breathing - in through my nose and out through my mouth. However after two reps I’m struggling to recover in the walk sections & that makes each subsequent run section much harder. Is this just me being unfit? Will it get easier? Any tips you can suggest?
