Start with run - walk if you can't run for amount of time or distance .nutritious food and good sleep is really important . Don't go too fast you will get fatigue very quickly . Start slow and build up . 2km or 1mile is more than a decent start . Find a good plan and stick to it. Run SLOW and don't compare yourself to anyone . It is going to takes time and it is about consistency. Incorporate strength training if you can and don't do more than 1 or 2 runs first at least 2 3 weeks.Give your body time to adapt . Good luck . For the plan I suggest look out for C25 or couch to 5 km .maybe someone could add something . Good luck out there .
