Response:
I started with walking 5 miles a day at a brisk pace then added running using a modified version of C25K. Once I was able to run all 3.1 miles, I increased my distance by .5 of a mile each run every week. (3.5 miles for a week, then 4.0 miles the next week, usually 3-4 times a week.) I can now run as far as 10 miles without stopping. A good rule of thumb is in order to prevent injuries, you should not increase your weekly mileage by more than 10% each week. Once you build up to 1 mile, I would increase by .1 of a mile and see how that goes. Listen to your body. It will tell you if you can handle a larger distance increase. Remember to run slow also. They say if you think you are running slow, run slower. Speed will come in time.

I've been off running because of a knee injury, so tentatively set my goal at 25 miles, hoping I would be cleared to run again soon enough (plus I have a 10K toward the end of the month I want to do). I was cleared on Friday (hooray!), so am going to stick with 25 miles.
7/11: 0.5 miles

Day 4 of jogging seeing minor improvements each day jogging more than brisk walking my recovery is becoming quicker and so far finding it a bit addictive twice now I have intended on a rest day and twice now decided to go jogging instead cant say I enjoy it but the aches in my legs spur me on as I know if I stick this out I may have a pair of legs that I have always wanted and the weight loss is slow but its staying off whether only 4 days makes a diff who knows but actually im even finding myself planning ahead in aug there is a 5k in york that most of my family do and im thinking if I keep working perhaps by next years race I could surprise them and do it too as none of them know im jogging as feel silly lol0 -
I am going to start a little late and set my goal a little high. But next month should be better for me. Starting tonight and will update daily.
