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.

If you decide you do want a watch, my wife loves her Garmin. It comes with running training software/program for free which she used to train for a 10k and then a half marathon. She found not having to program for herself to be very valuable and motivating. It's not one of the top tier ones but it does everything she needs.
