talk to me about learning to run, please

[whatreallygrindsmygears]

Can anyone advise on best ways of learning to run for fitness? Have steadfastly avoided running as my arms don't know what to do with themselves and I feel like I'm going to die after about 15 seconds. However, it is quick and a good fat burner.

I am quite fit, have a reasonable amount of stamina. Where do I start?

Thanks

I joined a local running club before children and they were so lovely. Had a beginners group as well as others, and they were so understanding at my rubbishness, but within weeks my stamina grew and they never rushed off ahead and left me.

is there a women's running network near you?
