The answer when starting out and running out of breath is the question is almost always to just run slower. The goal is to complete it, not complete it at a certain speed.

The other thing that I will add is that the C25K program should be totally comfortable. You shouldn't start dreading it, or it will start giving you reasons to skip days which is far worse. So my recommendation is if the previous week is not totally comfortable for you, there is no harm in continuing it again on repeat until you are ready for the jump.
