Hey, i started running last summer before my holiday and i was just the same as you, i couldnt run to the end of the road without struggling to breathe.
My boyfriend started coming with me and got me really into it.
I just started jogging rather than running at first and follow a few tips he gave me and in 3 months i could run about 2/3 miles without stopping which was great for me. below are the tips he gave me, hope they work for you!
- If you feel yourslef getting out of breathe slow down even if your nearly walking rather than try and keep going and end up stopping. And once you feel your breath coming back speed up a little.
-Give yourself little goals to get to each time you run, mine used to be to get to the post box without stopping, and then the next time something that was a little way past that, even just a meter or so.
-Get some songs on your ipod with a steady beat to them i liked black eyed peas as i could get my feet going in time with the music.
- Dont beat yourslef up if you dont do well one day, some days id get out there and be rubbish, just try your best you will have good and bad days.
Hope this helps, i really enjoyed it once i got into it, i went recently but fell over and broke my elbow :cry:as im so clumsy!
so my tip would be try not to do that hehe
