Just finished week 4 and can say that at my weight that I was running too fast for a novice (not run in 22 years). Was able to do the first 3 and 5 minute but by the end of the last 5 was unable to breathe due to asthma.
Dropped speed by about 5% next time and felt amazingly better and was able to run in a much more relaxed way. Didn't need the asthma inhaler.
Lesson learned, LIGHT JOG!
