running for beginners

Tinamac1

Has anyone done a running for beginners type thing? I am looking for a program I can use to start running and there are so many different things that pop up I don't really know which one would work. Its been like 5 years and 30 less lbs since I properly ran so I don't want to just start out full force and end up hurting myself.

I am okay to run and work out so this is doctor approved.

Thanks

"C25K" is a great app. The one that sponsors breast cancer (its a free app). But if you want something really fun, use "Zombies, Run!". I got the apk online, so I didn't pay for it.

C25K or B210k, both are excellent. If you know you will want to run one day 10k go straight away for the second one so that you do not have to repeat the first lessons of the C25K. Brilliant free apps!

Zombies, run! Is great, you get so immersed in the story and in collecting materials that you barely feel tired.

Lots of guidance in http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/47-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k- including a review of the apps and podcasts.

I used a podcast alongside Runkeeper to track my performance, rather than locking those early runs into a walled garden of data.
