![Lesson of the day, breath more 🏃🏼♀️ at training yesterday @chasing19 had me running short intervals all out with super slow recovery runs. I banged out my first lap at 100% but found it really hard to get my breathing back on the recovery run. Plus my legs were like bambi 🦌 A little coach voodoo later and I was regulating my breathing just fine during my recovery and my legs were nowhere near as wobbly. So what happened? I didn’t suddenly get much fitter, my perceived effort during my intervals didn’t go down. The change was that I focused on my breathing during my efforts 💨 chatting it through I realised I wasn’t breathing effectively when pushing myself and that when I did remember to breath in and out sensibly I was at an advantage when it came to recovery 🏃🏼♀️ so simple, so effective, so easily overlooked.

![‘The older I get, the more I realise that we are actually all very confident. It just gets buried under the layers of self-doubt and insecurity that get piled upon us as we go through life. Yet, with time, you start to peel some of those layers away and your confidence starts to show, like the corner of a dusty box you’ve been looking for, hidden at the back of the garage’ - Marisa Bate via @thepooluk [📷: @annarachphotography]
