All running programs for beginners are the same. They move you from walking, which anyone can do, to running, which anyone can do if they have determination. The difference between walking and running isn't speed or biomechanics. It's determination.
The first step to an exercise program is to ask yourself, what's realistic for me? Think "simple.". Think "goal.". Think "long term."
Begin with a run/walk program. Start slow. Work up to 8 days of walking before attempting to run. Then begin with two minutes of running, alternating with four minutes of walking. Do this five times for a total of 30 minutes per workout. The runs should be slow jogs, not sprints.
After ten weeks, you should be able to run for 30 minutes straight and then look at miles. You have just started running! Who knew you had it in you :-)
