I was probably on week 1 for almost 5 months. it eases you into it. you want to work on your endurance first. go as slow as you can. don't stop! even if you can walk faster, just keep going.

I agree with couch to 5k. It eases you into the plan. I would also recommend working on your breathing. I found that when I first started running that I'd get side cramps from breathing too hard and fast. Now that I've slowed my breathing I find it much easier to push on. The first mile is always the worst, but then you get into a rhythm.

I definitely recommend http://www.c25k.com/ as well. I went from hating running to loving it. Stick with it though...it doesn't matter if you repeat weeks, as long as you keep going.

It's best to ease into it, which is great about the Couch 2 5K program (C25K). That hardest thing once you're there is getting over the mental hump. Just like a lot of sports running is 80% mental.

Best of luck to you. You can do it!

I am doing the c25k, too. I am at week 8 and I'm loving it! I really helped me getting back in shape and gaining resistance again.
