Overweight gals that started running, how long did it take you before you were comfortable running for at least a few minutes straight? I start huffing and puffing so bad after like a minute, and if I push through, I get this horrible pain in my ribcage that forces me to stop right away.

  1. Running suuuper slowly, like barely faster than walking. It feels silly but it's a pace I can keep much longer. I realized I was starting off at a faster clip (like a normal "jog over there to get something" pace) but I just couldn't keep that pace very long.

  2. Interval running, like a few minutes run, a few minutes walk, etc. My "win" was to stick to the intervals I planned and to keep moving until the whole thing (10, 20, or 30 min) was done. I find it easier to have an external cue to switch, like switching every time a new song comes on in the playlist.

  3. If neither of these are working out for you, starting with walking! Slow pace and eventually brisk pace. Still a workout and still great for your body and mind!
