Gotta go slow, even if it’s walking pace. Aim for like 5 minutes non stop and walk for a minute or two and then run for 5 mins again. Try aiming for time and alternating between running and walking to start

Legit I’ve been running since April twice a week and did not start enjoying it until like 2 weeks ago. Just suffer through the first month until your body gets used to running and you aren’t in a world of pain. It still sucks but gets a lot better.

This is so true, your body needs some sort of base before it gets used to running and you can actually enjoy it
