I am generally fit and active, I do walk a lot. However I would like to get fitter, increase my stamina and energy levels, feel good about myself and my life, shoo away depression and have some feeling of achievement. I spent few hours yesterday reading a runners website but didn't register so decided to ask few questions here first. 1- I'm scared to join a running group but there is a fab one here where I live. What can I expect from the group and can I run successfully alone? 2- Do I need to go to a specialist shop to get my trainers and where can I find these shops is London? 3- Where can I find a program to follow? 4- What sort of gear do I need, how do I monitor my speed x distance? 5- What kind of clothes do I need (materials/ brands)? 6-Where will I keep my keys/mobile phone when running? 7- I have a 5 year old who loves exercising, can I take her to short play runs with me and does she need special trainers too? 8- How does running for Charity work? That is it for now and TIA.
