Just got into running, any tips?

I'm fairly fit but also starts slow with the couch to 5k program.

Perhaps any technique sharing with breathing, stride, gear, etc would be appreciated!

When I was starting, I just run.

After a while I bought a sport Watch and tried to keep myself in HR zone 2 and 3.

Then I implemented breathing technique 2-3. What it means is to inhale on 2 steps and exhale on 3 or other way around if it fires you better.

When you really start to get into it, you should learn proper foot placement.

About gear, I NEVER cheap out on shoes. I now buy sport clothes but you can wear whatever.
