Female age 60 - just starting the program, just complete day 1 of second week. I’m really hoping I start to find it easier. I do yoga and other strength exercises regularly, but need to improve my cardio fitness drastically.

I’m on my fifth repeat of week 1 ! If it’s a real struggle, try slowing down just a little while you build up your stamina. Running on softer surfaces than tarmac also helps. Happy running !

Stick with it. It will settle. Take it slowly, as everyone keeps posting, cos it's the best way, and you'll surprise yourself a bit further down the line, when you realise how you've improved.
You will. I too found it hard at fast but you will surprise yourself. Trust in the programme. I am on week 5 now and look forward to every run. They may seem daunting but you will surprise yourself. I feel so much better, I sleep better and find myself turning my nose up at all the bad things I used to eat.
