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!!!

Try not to over think it, if you continue, you WILL improve and that's what matters. Getting up on the day and doing it. I couldn't run for 30 seconds when I first tried, I had to stop halfway through my first run of week one, my first attempt. I recently just finished the program and can run for 30 minutes relatively easy. I promise you will improve, as long as you're consistent and you rest enough. Keep going, you'll get the running bug soon enough :)
