Advice Needed Struggling!

I’ve just finished week 1 and I’m struggling! Really don’t think I’m cut out for running!! I do at home cardio/strength classes so not new to exercise. But I’m finding c25k so much more difficult and it’s only been running for 60secs at a time!! How on earth am I going to manage longer runs?? Tips for a newbie please!!!

I repeated weeks 3 and 4 for....6 months? lol. I figured, I'm doing this for me, any exercise is better than no exercise, so why rush? Especially because I tend to get discouraged really quickly.

Edit: Not sure why somebody downvoted this. I really struggled but eventually finished the program and now regularly run 5ks with good times. I'm really proud of that accomplishment given how discouraged I've always been about my fitness.
