    The only thing I can say is to start off slow and do a little bit more each time. I still don't have the running thing down cause I still can't run longer than 3 mins at 4mph on the treadmill before I am out of breath. Any higher than that i'm a complete mess. However my recovery time has reduced in that I only need to walk at 3mph for about 5 min before I can run another 3 min at the 4. This method has also helped me alot with stamina building. Before I could not walk further than a mile, but now I have actually completed 5k walks walking at a 3-3.5mph pace (I do throw in a 3 min run once in a while).

    Wish you all the best
    Oh, make sure you get good, comfortable walking/running shoes!!
