How did you start? Been trying one minute run, one minute jog, one minute walk and repeat for half hour but I am so tired.

Also I am by a park now but moving to an area where I will be on a B road and only partial pavement.

Should I get a running machine or try to find a cross country route?

I found a running club’s beginners guide to running online and followed it religiously.

IIRC it was an 8 week guide that built up to running continuously for 30 mins. I bought a cheap watch with a stop watch and was careful timing my 2 mins running, 1 min walking etc.

Once I could run for 30 mins I challenged myself to run for 5k in 30 mins. Once I could do that I moved to 10k.

Once I could run for 10K I started challenging myself to get faster and then moved to half marathons.

When I started I found running for 1 minute hard. Within 6 months I could run a half marathon.

Remember you don’t need to be running fast you should still be able to speak.

Running is fun once you get going but you just need to grit your teeth a bit through the easily days.
