    One step at a time or you will quit. can you run for long periods already?

    Diet, cardio, and strength training.

    Do you have a set of 3 or 5 lb weights you can bring with you on your walks/ runs? I've heard this is effective.

    Welcome to MFP, by the way! :)

    Interval training. Walk fast, then jog or sprint for a bit, then back to walking. Start slow, i.e. stick a one-minute jog in there, walk again, jog again...then move up to walking briskly, then sprinting, walk/sprint. Burns more calories and keeps your metabolism higher for longer, and helps condition your heart too.
