Well done on your progress.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

You don't say what is causing you to stop.

If I didn’t complete a run, I never re did the whole week, only repeated the session, and kept repeating that session until I was confident to move on to the next one.

Be proud of what you’ve achieved so far x
