C25K - Still a struggle?

[Lickitysplit]

I started the C25K recently, I have just finished week 3. I am still finding it really really hard, I get out of breath so easy. I did the shred before starting the C25K so had built up some fitness, I can't understand why I am finding it so difficult. Any ideas?

you can work on your breathing,it takes practice

also,no harm at staying at week 2/3 a little longer before moving on. I completed c25k ages ago and run with a club now,but dd wanted to do c25k,so i'm doing it with her and finding it hard!!!

i find running relatively easy, my body is used to it, but the shred KILLS me

as HSS says, no harm in repeating a week or two
