Probably going too fast! Slow down more, especially as the runs get longer. You’ve got this 💪🏽

You just need to slow down and then slow more. You can do it 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻

I expect you are going too fast. Try talking to yourself as you go ( who cares if anyone sees you) if you can't chat, it's too fast 😀

Moving too quickly.. relax and as the others suggest.. slow it down, then slow down more... snails rock.. and they are never short of breath:)

You need to run at an easy conversational pace, as described in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Slow down.

I have just done that run- I did everything slowly, then did that last run super slow because I was tired - shorter paces, just gently padded along. Go really gently next time. 😃
