    They'd cripple me. What's right for one person may be wholly inappropriate for another. Random recommendations without knowing about the runner are meaningless.

    Gel asics are really good for running and couch to 5k is an amazing program! I've done it and repeated a few weeks but it's a good program if you're not used to running at all.

    I can't stand Asics. They seem to just make my feet ache. Go to a running store and get properly fitted. Don't request brand or color. Try on all the different shoes, and go by how they feel. Make sure you run in each of the shoes. Most running stores will have treadmills or let you run outside. Some of my fav running shoes have been some of my ugliest!

    1. Sports bra that separates, supports, and lifts
    2. Drink lots of water
    3. Be patient, it's more important to develop a good form to avoid injury than it is to try to run fast
