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.

A few people have mentioned some forms of couch to 5K. Just wanted to also throw in my recommendation for C25K as well. Just follow the program and don't cheat. It was the thing I was missing that taught me to have the discipline to be active a few times per week and that's a habit I've kept up for going on 7 years now.
