Kenneth's Solution:
1. Start slow. If you do not currently exercise at all, start by walking. After a few weeks add one minute of running for every five minutes of walking. Keep doing intervals of funning and walking until you can run 10 minutes without stopping. Then increase the amount of time you run by 5 minutes each week.
2. Keep a reasonable pace. A coming running mistake is to start out too fast. Start slow and build you speed if you want to increase the difficulty of your run. Save your sprinting for the end if you so desire.
3. If you already own sneakers, tart with those. Run for a couple of week and decide if you want to continue before buying running shoes. Most running shoes will cost around $100. Go to a running store and have your foot fitted by a professional.
4. Sign up for a race! If you have never run before start with a short distance, 1 mile up to a 5K (3.1 miles). Give yourself at least 5 weeks of running before race day. Setting a goal, like a race, gives you something to work for.
