I'm not a beginner after all I ran a marathon last month, but I am training my wife for a half marathon.

Best advice is to start slow, don't be concerned with distance at first, use time. If five mins is all you can do, that's great. Next is to only take it up 10% a week. You push too fast and you'll get injured and have to start over.

Took me two years to get the mileage up for a marathon, but as Lau Tzu said a journey begins with the first step.

All the best and welcome to the runners club, make sure you have good shoes as well.
