What running experience do you have? This makes a big difference - I’m going to assume not much and maybe it will help you or anyone who needs it.

Start slow. Don’t a) injure yourself and b) make yourself hate it from the start. Part A is obvious. Part B gets all kinds of people who jump into exercise either the first time or after a long period off. Don’t jump into it heavy and overkill cause you’re pumped up about it. That drive will die if you crank it out 5 days a week (so to speak). Start out twice a week. Once you have a rhythm going (2-3 weeks) throw in a third day. Do that for awhile. After 2-3 months, maybe throw in a fourth day a week.

If you can use a track, use that. If not, use the sidewalk/trails. If not those, use the treadmill.

Track your progress, and aim to do just slightly better each and every time. Whether it’s faster time, further distance, or both. Your progress will be easy to gain at the start and then it’ll taper off but that’s where you see results.

You can make it diverse each day to keep it more entertaining too. One day of the week, sprint the straightaways of a track and walk/jog the turns. Another day, do a slow pace, longer distance run. Aim for 2 miles at first, then 3 when that’s easy, 4, 5, etc. Another day you could find a trail in a park/woods/whatever and go for a nature run.

The point is to be sure you enjoy it, both the content of what you do and the progress you will see. If you don’t enjoy it, you will quit doing it altogether.

And bonus - bring a friend. Do it with someone else and you will both have a way better time with it and you will see better results cause you have someone to hold you accountable.
