So I'm trying to lose a few pounds, get in generally better shape and find a new hobby, so I figured I would give running a try. I tend to walk about 3-5 miles everyday outside my regular routine, but I know that running the same distance is a lot more stressful on the body.
I'm just wondering if there's anybody out there who can give some helpful tips for a novice runner. Really, anything helps...shoes, wardrobe, diet, running style, distances, ideal surfaces, anything. I'm hoping to enter a few 5K's by the time summer hits.
Cheers,
Sage
