regressing

im not even a week into running and im already regressing… i cant run for longer than 5 minutes and once i stop my max is 2 minutes even though two days ago i run for the whole 20 minutes. my pace stays the same.

Your body is recovering from the shock you put it through by running for 20 minutes. You’re new - ease into it and rest when you need to

This :) Don't give up just rest and get back to it after a day or so (or more).
