    Well don't know if anyone will check this but I slowed it down and I was able to run 15 min straight and stopped for 5 cause I was happy, I did a whole mile!! Then I did 5 more min. I just turned it down like .5 on the speed!!! I was extatic!!

    Yes many people will read this and you found the answer. Well done. Best of luck.

    Congrats! You are well on your way now. Ditto on the advice to not increase too much distance at once. The general rule is do not increase your total mileage more than 10% week to week. Also, every 3 or 4 weeks it is a good idea to take it easy that week and cut your mileage back 25% to 50% total, running easy all that week to let muscles and tendons build, and to give your body a break.
