In weeks 3 and 4 my main challenge was breathing correctly. Did week 5 run 1 last night and my breathing was fine, but my calves hurt a lot. Managed to finish but the last run was painful. Second run tomorrow. Any advice?

On a positive note, I can't believe I am running for that amount of time in just four weeks.

You could always have an extra day of rest

Be sure to go only very slowly 🙂👍
