Answers:

I have just started jogging and don't seem to be doing very well in distance and breathing can anybody help

Yes.

Coincidentally, I ran marathons and long distance for many years. For a while, I ran the mile and timed myself to see how well I could do. 5:07 was my best time ever, so I'm impressed you could do it on your first meet!

Get a good running book; it will save you time and help you run better. I bought one by Jeff Galloway, he's pretty sharp.

Stop bragging. You know some of us are still trying to break 7 minutes!! Just kidding, well, not about breaking 7 minutes, but I'm a little older and just started running for speed again. I ran track in a small Missouri town and made the team with 5:50's. 5:07 is very respectable.
