    This is a good beginning challenge, when I started running back in 1998, I was slow as a 17 year old. Now at 34 almost 35 years old, I can run 3 miles in 17:50 and run 10 miles a day, 5 times a week now that I am in the military, but mixing it up betwen sprints and 70% full speed or slow 15 mile runs. The key:

    -Stretch for 20 minutes or more before to get the lactic acid out of your muscles and increase your fexibility and range of motion
    -Stretch upper and lower body especially legs
    -Do planks to stregnthen your core, a strong core will stregnthen the rest of your body
    -Drink water, hydrate
    -Stretch, did I mention stretch, you wont be sore afterwards
    -Results will not come overnight, it takes lots of commitment to hitting the pavement

    To everyone, good luck on this challenge, keep faith and keep trying!!
