    Get good shoes, break in slowly (important so you don't injured your shins. Easily done going from never running to lots. Did this last year! No fun)

    I normally loop my key over my HRM strap.

    Zara x

    I didn't think about this. I got new running shoes and had pains in my shins for a few weeks (tried running through it on and off).

    Will remember this for my next pair of shoes and maybe wear then for walking in for a week or two first.


    Also like the idea of looping a key over your HRM strap. Simple idea!

    All my answers were taken, except don't forget to do appropriate stretching prior to running. www.runnersworld.com has a lot of great stretch ideas for different areas. I would strongly suggest reading up and practicing stretching before running! :)

    Couch to 5 k abbreviated c25k is what most people use.

    I just walked one mile for a week then started walking 1/2 mile run 1/8 then walk the rest of the way home. I started adding a1/8 of a mile each time till I could run a mile. Just pick a pace you can stay at.

    Most important, have fun.

    good advice
