Are all Run 1's this difficult?

Got through Week 1 without too much trouble, (well I was still breathing - just). Now on week 2 I find the run difficult, I guess every time you ramp up the effort it seems difficult, so every week run 1 will hurt, ah well!

If you run too fast for your current fitness level, it will be tough. C25K is about building stamina, as explained in the guide to the plan, so just do an easy job at a pace at which you can hold a clear ungasping conversation.
