    I second the suggestion to join a beginner's running group if you can find one near you. I joined one about 3 years ago and did our trainer's own version of the Couch to 5K. Last year I completed my first half marathon, and I am currently halfway through the 5x50 Challenge (to run 5km EVERY DAY for 50 days straight). Loving it!!

    New runner here! About to finish week 4 of couch to 5k! It's a great program! At first i struggled to run for a minute but the program really teaches you to pace yourself and the weeks go by so quickly! Good luck!

    Start slow- meaning don't think you will run a 5km next week. Run some, walk some and each time run a little bit more walk a little bit less.
    Run every second or even third day - I found I improved faster this way. On the off days - walk, walk, walk.

    I'm 42 - started not quite a year ago. You can do it!
