Guest Ruth Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Hi I was happy to complete week 1. Yesterday I did day 1 of week 2. Definitely need help with breathing. I'm a plus size girl and I'm 50. Going to try and slow my pace and breath through nose. Seems impossible. I'm not sure about the 170-180 metronome pace. Any other advice? 1 Ladee_Jay reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyAnn 281 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Hi there Ruth, Welcome on here. You are doing great. I do breathing exercises 3 x a day when I remember. Deep breaths that fill my lungs. Breathe through your chest deeply. What do you mean about a 170-180 Metronome pace? Keep me posted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KandaceM86 Report post Posted December 23, 2014 Hi everyone!! I have to start off by saying you all are amazing! Taking the first step is always the hardest but you have to start somewhere. I am also a plus sized girl who is a tad bit backwards. I completed my first 5K on 12/9 without training (I know). I downloaded the app and haven't used it yet but will start using it shortly as I actually train to do more 5Ks next year starting in Feb. I'm glad that I'm not alone. We can do anything we put our minds to ladies! Good luck!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Velma Report post Posted December 23, 2014 Hello, I started using the app last week and I totally enjoyed it. It's helping me a lot by giving the cues when to walk or run so I don't have to look at my watch. I'm on a journey for a healthier me and perhaps next year I'll do a couple of 5k's. Any guidance or input is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
