I used to run about 5 years ago. I started with a pair of converse basketball shoes and a plan on a sheet of paper from a running store(I regret not buying the running shoes at first 100 dollars seemed like a lot; a month later I got the shoes) Anyway I was over weight 197 lbs at 5′6″ and was huffing and puffing doing run and walk and I slowly built up to 4 miles a day and my farthest run was 9 miles. But this second time around is a lot easier for me though I am starting slowly again to avoid injury and I enjoy it and hope to keep up through out my life I am 45. Visit a running store near you it will save you a lot of time and pain because usually they are operated by people that love running and have a lot of knowledge. I frequent Hanson’s running shop in michigan but you could contact them on the web and order equipment. Keep on running.

Any suggestion for training for a marathon? Like I said I have been running for about 2 weeks; 5 miles a day. Or is that too much too soon?

I have started running 5 miles a day and have experienced fabulous results. I am very excited, and ready for my next challenge. I really enjoyed this article and comments posted.

It’s so good to see this article.
I feel like running develops a logical and wiser state of mind.
Agree?

Question…is it correct to run on the balls of your feet…ie..your toes? and not your heels? I saw a guy running by me today and it looked like he was running on his toes…he was gliding and it looked like he wasn’t even trying…it looked effortless for him. for me it’s hard..every step feels like 220 lbs on every joint…I wanna be a good runner….I wanna be able to run 5 miles a day without stopping….

This will probably amaze some readers here but I started jogging last July at 47 years and 290 lbs. I worked my way up to 3 miles then 3.5 per run.

On Halloween I jogged nine miles for the first time in my life and just last Wednesday I did ten miles! Last Saturday I ran in my first 5k.

I’m sure there aren’t many folks my age and weight jogging five to six times per week but I am hooked! I get high and feel great!

I don’t need any equipment, no special training, just som good running shoes and my iPod!

I just turned 19, and have NEVER been a runner.. or very sporty at that. I’ve always been in good shape due to genetics.. but lately i’ve felt so lazy and the idea just came upon me to go for a run. I cant run far, and i cant run fast, and I take breaks to walk because it is hard on the lungs. I feel a burning sensation like you mentioned, and feel a slight headache. Just coming back i’m really shakey and tired!! But I hope to keep going though, and hope I can progress. This article helped me out and now I have faith i can do it! I will keep going. :)
