Needing some help to get started running. (lemmy.zip)

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.

That's pretty cool. When I was younger I bought an Army Rangers cadence tape, and would listen to that when I was running. That might not work for a lot of people, but it motivated the fuck out of me. But there were no breaks, and no cues. My running routine was to run until a puked, and then run home. Definitely not for everyone.
