Trying to see if anyone has a routine for someone totally new to running. I’m a big fan of “this week do this, build up to do this, etc…” I’m in my thirties and from a young age until I was about 20 I had severe asthma. I’ve never been good at running. Asthma doesn’t bother me anymore but I’m needing something to do while traveling for work. I work construction all across the state and come home on the weekends.

If anyone has some ideas that would be great. When I do stuff I tend to over do it then it then it’s hard to make myself go out again.

    Running alone is awful for me, it’s so easy to be motivated if you run with even one other person. Convince a friend to start running with you, preferably one who also is new to it. Then when you run it feels somewhat competitive, like you have to keep up with eachother.
