Running for Beginners: Two Surefire Ways to Start Running, and Keep Running

http://www.StartRunning.com - an online community for runners of all kind!

To start running as a beginner, or an experienced runner with dusty running shoes, just get out there and start running! Try running slowly for 5 minutes today, and again the next day. Don't overdo it, just get out there and start. And don't worry about getting the right running shoes, running apparel, running... I run barefoot, and it feels a heck of a lot better for me! All you need is motivation - you can wear whatever you got lying around.

If you have a friend who runs, go out running with them. When you run with someone whose in better shape and more experienced than you, whether that's your running coach, a friend, or folks from the local running club, they'll serve as a model for how to run well, and will keep you motivated to keep going, and not fall too far behind.

Things like increasing your pace and distance are sure to come up later - for now, just focus on getting that momentum going.

This is Tellman Knudson, giving you tips on running. I've created StartRunning.com, a social networking site for runners new and old to share their experiences, with running, and learn from each other. As I prepare to run barefoot across the country to raise $100,000,000 for homeless youth, I have a lot to say myself. So subscribe to these videos - your sure to learn a lot about running - and join http://www.StartRunning.com today.

Good video

I've just started jogging. I walked n jogged the first few times until I had enough stamina to jog all the way.

I disagree about the comment you don't need good running shoes. I got pes anserine bursitis from having crappy shoes. Shoes matter a good bit.
