[Buff]

I have never been a fan of running. Probably because I got discouraged when I was younger and I wasn't the fastest. Probably because I never got into running that when I try to run I get incredibly embarrassed because I gassed out after a dozen steps.

I believe that I have the ability to run. I'm not in any shape to just pick it up and run for 15 minutes. I need to work myself up to running longer distances.

What do you runners recommend for a beginner in the extremely beginning phases of beginning?

I'll be running on the treadmill, at least to start. If I enjoy it and get good at it then I'll go outdoors.

I've been walking on the treadmill and I might run two or three times during my walk and I could only last about a minute, but towards the end of this trial run thing I was up to 3 minutes and could have gone more but didn't want to overdo it.

I've been thinking about trying out running but had yet to look into how to properly start until this tread prompted to me to ask here.

So, how does a beginner start to run?
