Where to begin ?

Google a couch to 5k training program. Should be a good place to start.

This has some good advice in it as well.

Definitely a good thread to read.

A couch to 5K program is really the best way to start. It will have you walking and running in longer and longer intervals to help you build up endurance until you can run an entire 5K. I'll caution you to follow the program and don't try to do more than it tells you or you risk overuse injury.

There are smartphone apps available which will tell you when to walk or run. I can highly recommend the Zombies 5K app. It was a lot of fun. I haven't tried any of the others.

I loved zombie run as the further I went (running or walking) the more I earned for my survivors. Lot of people I know like couch to 5 k app. Type running into whichever operating system you have and I'm sure you'll find alot of apps. Try until you find what suits you.
Are you planning indoor or outdoor running? If this is something your serious about gobto running shop and have your gait analysis done. I thought a running showboat a running shoe but getting right one almost overnight cured the post run pains in knees nd ankles as the shoes I had didn't provide the right support.
