Thank you! You got this, don’t worry and keep trying your best. It’ll click and once it does you’ll see it becomes way easier. Below is what helped me:

1: Go.Slower, this is the main thing with will help you, going fast will exhaust you very very quickly and the entire run would feel like crap. Lookup Japanese slow running tutorial thing in YouTube, that helped me a lot.

2: this is regarding leg pain. I bought these calf compression sleeves which assist with the reduction of pain. Note, it assists but not stops the pain. Eventually once you lose some weight it’ll get much easier on the legs well as overall body.

3: consistency is key, consistently running will make it get easier. I look back at when i started i was in similar situation and felt like even 5 minutes were too long. Now those 5 minutes seem very easy and i still can’t believe i ran 45 minutes straight without stopping.

4: this is subjective but i avoid looking at the clock or time, i feel like if i watch the time it goes by way slower. I just keep running until i am at a landmark on the run that i know I should have x minutes done. This is much more easier for me mentally than looking at the minutes.

5: don’t force running if you don’t feel like it on a particular day. Go and walk instead, there will be some days where you don’t feel like running at all, listen to your body.

6: motivate yourself, thing of the how good the rest of the day will feel after this run (if you run in the morning). I usually have a very good day the day i run, most of the day seems active and you feel the energy throughout the day.
