As a total non runner trying to recover strength after knee surgery last year I'm feeling quite proud that I've completed the first week, slow as a heard of turtles but completed none the less!
Cannot believe how hard I found this though. Hopefully not totally alone on how much I struggled on the first day 🙈

Hi CDR
Last week was my first and was terrible with my breathing but still felt good when I completed a session.
Hang in there your not alone
My first week was torture, really struggled to complete each run. But against all odds, I completed W5R3 today, so it can be done, the programme magically gets you there. Don't be afraid or disheartened to repeat a run if necessary.
I'm firmly in the tortoise camp, and happy to stay there for as long as I need to!
Good luck, we're all with you!
Thank you! I'll be happy to get as far as you in the programme!
Yay! Well done!
You are definitely not alone, the first day was awful for me too. Slow and steady, we'll get there. Good luck for week 2 and beyond 
Week 5 complete 
Week one complete 
First run complete!
