    I'm a recent C25K graduate & I'm up to 4+ miles now - I reached out for advice on MFP as well - I was having a hard time too. You have to slow down. Someone said this to me, and it really stuck: "if you can run slower, you're going too fast". Endurance first, speed later. Good luck!

    YIKES!!! I'm planning on starting that program in a few weeks!! which one are you doing? I think there are different programs. I think the one I'm looking at doing is running 90 seconds, walking 60, run 90. is that the one you did?

    This is the one I'm doing with pretty good success. I've had to repeat a couple of weeks because I've never run in my life. When I started running, even 60 seconds was hard for me, but I'm up to 3 minutes and I can handle it. Good luck to you! You CAN do it!

    The one we are trying is warm up for 5minutes, jog 60 seconds, walk 90 and repeat numerous times
