I think it is the deep breaths from my stomach that i found hard to get, but after slowing it down slightly i found that i could get those breaths.
Hi
i used to run with a friend who ran a lot faster than me but we had an understanding that i would catch up (she had to stop, were as i carried on most of the time)
i found it easier to breathe when i gave myself a rhythm so...
in for 4 steps out for 4 steps, this helped with mostly everything as when i realised where i was i was shocked at how far i had come, having been busy concentrating on breathing, helped me to concentrate on breathing in through my mouth (which helped the coughing etc)
give it a go next time and let me know how you get on xxx

The main thing is to relax. If you can relax, not panic about your breathing and take each stride as it comes you will be fine. Focus your sight straight ahead, don't think of the distance, or how much its hurting you etc just focus on a point in the distance and run

Yep, keep trying
Afterall, the super star athletics didn't become one over night. It all takes practice and practice makes perfect x

yes i do go at my own pace, which isn't much faster than my energetic walk to be honest.

I am dead slow too! But at least I am doing it and my heart rate is up!
I breathe in and out count of 4 too and occasionally do a huge in and fast hard breathe out, like blowing out a candle. I read that is helps your diaphragm to move about and stop you getting a stitch .... X

Went running last night. We did 1min walk and 6 mins running x 5. I ran with another lady who is slow like me but seems to have got her breathing good, so i copied her (most of the time), but on my third run i had a pain at the back of my knee but i ignored it and tried to stretch it on the walk, and then towards of run 4 something pinged, it was like an elastic band flicked me. I continued with the run and did it all, but my leg is sore.
Anyone know if it is just a pull that feels like that, it is behind my knee, just below the crease when you bend your knee.

i have pretty much rested it today, only done minimal walking at work. it does hurt but isnt very painful, if that makes sense, it's more annoying.
i dont think that i will go jogging in the morning. i think that i will wait until thursday and see how it is. dont want to give up running club as there are only two weeks left after this week.
i have two homework runs.
the first is 1min walk and 6 mins run x 5.
the second homework is 5mins brisk walk, followed by 8mins jog and 1 min walk x 4. so not too energetic.
