i've jogged on and off in the past, but nothing serious enough to actually call myself a "jogger."
i plan on following a less intense version of the hiit program and doing it 3 or 4 times a week, and maybe some light jogging for the other few days.
any suggestions for a jogging newbie?

Its for running, but I jog instead...I am no runner....I am very much a beginner as well.0 -
I've been using the Couch to 5k app - and I love it. Start slow and easy, and don't forget to have rest days.

the best advice is to make sure you have a good pair of runners.....not cross-trainers or any of the other multi-purpose type that are out there. the proper shoes make a huge difference. you dont want to be sore or in pain from poor shoes.0

I just want to wish you good luck. When I first started jogging I could barely go a mile. Now, last Sunday, I ran 11 miles and I am running a half-marathon in El Paso this weekend! So, even if it sucks at first, you will get better My advice is do not worry about how fast you are going. Just keep a steady pace that feels comfortable.0

You don't have to start out running fast or for a long amount of time. Each day you will get stronger. But push yourself because you can do more than you think you can! Before you know it you will be running a 5K0
