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.

The town I'm currently working in is pretty small and I'm pretty sure the majority of the population is on meth haha. But when I'm home on the weekends I'll see if there is a group. Thanks for the suggestion.

There should be a handful of books about c25k or “couch to first 5k race” at any major bookstore you can get to. That’s what I used.
