How to start running?

A good plan is the "Couch to 5K" plan http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml  It's a 9 week program that uses running intervals until you build up to running the whole way.  Also, make sure that you have good running shoes before you begin.

Good for you on your decision to get back to running!  First piece of advice, don't try to run at your old pace.  Slow down!  Start with walking.  Mix in slow running intervals.  Gradually increase the running intervals as you regain your fitness.  Work your way up to running for a full 30 minutes or 3 miles (whichever you prefer--a time or distance).  After you've mastered the whole run, then you can work on either improving your speed or increasing your distance.\n\nTo avoid injury:  buy good running shoes for your feet and the way that you run.  Warm up.  Stretch.  Don't try to do too much too fast.  Cool down at the end.  Increase mileage by a maximum of 10% each week.  Work on speed and distance separately.  Take at least one full rest day each week.  It's probably good to start with running every other day until you get back in the habit.

www.runnersworld.com has some great beginning running programs on their site ("training" link).  Like others have said, good shoes are a must or you'll just injure yourself.  Expect to pay a bunch for the first pair you get and buy them at a shoe store where you can test them out on a treadmill in the store.  Have the salespeople help you with different brands and types of cushioning until you find what works for you. After the first pair, you can find your next pair on sale or online after you know what you want.\n\nJust listen to your body and work gradually.  Avoid injury by training smartly.

That's great that you are starting to run. Yes, Runners do have very lean bodies. Running is one of the few activities that you can carry on with almost your entire life, and its great with a partner but you don't need one. \n\nFirst off make sure you stretch before AND after your walks/runs.\n\nUse a decent pair of athletic shoes. Someone above mentioned that Nike and Adidas aren't good options. I run competitively  and Adidas makes a great shoe for people who tend to roll their foot to the side (over-pronator). Nike works well if you have a narrow foot. Brooks, Asics are some of the better brands. Anyways its not so much the brand but what kind of shoe works best for your foot and running style. If you have the money its a good idea to go to a store just for running shoes and have a sales person watch how you run and help you pick out a shoe that's best for you. Its good if they can see your old shoe too - so that they know what parts you wear out first. If you don't have the money for a pricey shoe go to one of those stores and just take the name down of the shoes they recommend and try to get them cheaper off eBay or at a discount store. \n\nIt takes a while to build up to a level where you can maintain a constant pace for the length of your run. I've heard a lot of people have success with a RUN/WALK program.\n\nExample: http://www.targetshooting.ca/reframerize.cfm?redirect=http://www.targetshooting.ca/train_running.htm\n\nBasically you work on building up the distance you walk. And then ease into running. Also with a weekly plan like the one above you know when to look for results and don't get down when you can't run fast right off the bat. This will you feel less out of breath.\n\nOne of the people above said not to breathe out of your mouth. That's the oddest thing I've ever heard. You breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Don't worry about getting dehydrated. Just make sure you drink water constantly during the day. Keep a water bottle around. \n\nThe clomping thing will get better with time. I still struggle with it and have been running for 16 years. Try to push off from the ball of your foot  - its just after your big toe and before your arch. That will give you a less clopping style to running. \n\nIf you do twist or pull something on a run make sure to ice it when you get home. But not for any more than 20 minutes at a time. The gel packs at pharmacy's work great. \n\nBest of luck with getting fit!

Start slow.\n\nAND BUY A GOOD PAIR OF SHOES.  Don't just go to any department store.  Go to a specialty store for running and jogging.  There they will actually watch you walk/run to see if you lean out out in.  They will give you a good pair of shoes and you may want to specifiy that you want really good shock absorbant shoes.  After you go to the specialty store you can buy them there (or look for the same shoes cheaper online).  Usually joggign shoes will be a half size larger than your regular shoes to give your foot more room.\n\nStart with walking then slowly speed up...\nBuild up your distance and speed over several weeks.  First start with builing up distance... walk 1-3 miles.  Once you are comfortable with that- work on your speed.  Slowly your walk will be a fast walk, and then eventually a jog.  Build up your speed and distance over several weeks.  Remember don't do it too fast.  Any excerise is more than none (and better than hurting yourself.)

You're off to a good start if you are running 6.6 miles per day, esp if it is all at once.  Is it outside or on a treadmill?\nYou might want to start riding with a mountain bike and if you run outside, ride the same route, then gradually extend the ride further and further.  You should be able to ride 6.6 miles in 30 minutes, assuming your riding on the flats and not up many hills.  You could also go to a gym and work on a stationary bike to begin with, then when you feel that you are in better shape get yourself a bike and start riding it outside.  You'll find that you use different muscles when you ride versus run so you'll probably notice some soreness at first but don't give up.  And you'll definitely find your butt will get sore initially, but if you keep working at it, that discomfort will eventually go away.  I am sure there are training programs and books that you can find to help you get in shape for a cross country bike ride.  The most important thing is you have to get on a bike and start riding.  It will eventually stop being a chore and start being something you look forward to doing.\n\nGood luck.

Anyone can run for office. Which office do you want to run for? If you are just starting out, try something local like the city council or mayor. Check out this great link for additional advice: http://www.seventy.org/empoweringcitizens/runforoffice/

Running is good for you all around. You have to breath correctly while you run. If your not used to running I would start off jogging, or even a brisk walk. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Your lungs will do better over time. When I started running my chest would hurt more than my body.  It just took some time. I got better.

Before you can get fast you have to have a strong base. Start by going on longer runs, maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And stretch nightly. Continue do build up your endurance for about a month or so, along with lifting weights... its important that you have a strong core, so do a lot of abdominal exercises. To become faster it wont happen over night, treat your body like your temple and make friends with your running shoes.
