Throat burn? Are you maybe running a bit fast? You should be running at a conversational pace, and be able to talk in full sentences.

Or maybe I misunderstood?

I don't think I'm running too fast, but then I have nothing to compare to to be honest as never ran before and I run alone

Could you talk to someone if they were there (or sing along to your music)? I don't think you should be getting a burning throat honestly

I probably couldn't to be honest, but then I get out of breath so easily. I've spent a lot of years not being very active.

Lots of us are like that, but try going a bit slower, even if you feel like you are going slower than a snail on crutches, at this point in the programme you are trying to get some fitness and kms in your legs
