Just got into running, any tips?

I'm fairly fit but also starts slow with the couch to 5k program.

Perhaps any technique sharing with breathing, stride, gear, etc would be appreciated!

My number one tip is slow down. Don't be afraid to go too slow. Keep training and speed comes with time. Don't make it too hard but keeping too fast of a pace. Running slowly will still provide training and is less likely to cause injury. Your body will know when it's time to speed up.
