So I'm getting there slowly but surely, I'm plodding through my early morning run and although I hate it and it's tough and I ask why the hell I'm doing it, I actually love it too. And can't wait for the next run. But the breathing is a problem. I feel I should be carrying an oxygen tank with me. Lol. Does the breathing get better and easier??
Slow but sure. : So I'm getting there slowly but... - Couch to 5K
Slow but sure.

Not sure which week your on but my breathing seemed to start setting down once I got up to 8 minutes and beyond. Keep at it! 👍🏽

Best way to cure the breathing is to slow right down.

Yes the breathing does get easier in my experience. It just seems to fall into place. But I still do some serious huffing and puffing & sound like I'm going to deliver right there in the gym 😂

It will get better in time, really it will. Your lungs are getting a really good workout and you really are getting fitter as you go. It will just suddenly seem to be less work one of these days 👍
