So the new edition of Runner's World
(I wonder about the punctuation there!)
... is called the "Special Beginners Issue"
(I wonder about the punctuation there, too!)
But would this be a good opportunity to start a bit of running this summer?
Go and grab a copy. I got mine from the gym, but lots of newsagents sell it ... like WH Smith.

LOL thank you. It did near kill me though!
I downloaded the couch to 5k and went out 6 nights per week. First time I was seriously wondering if it was possible to perform self resuscitation, but I pushed on and I'm up to running an average 5 minute mile, pushed through the shin splints, dropped a dress size and generally feeling not too shabby.
Never ever thought I'd see the day :o)

Incidentally ...
When you do longer runs, aim to do the second half of the run faster than the first half.
That will discipline you to pace yourself for the first half of the run, and to "keep something in the tank".
There's nothing worse than getting half way, and feeling like you're going to collapse.

As long as you have decent shoes, it makes no difference.
Obviously very soft surfaces (mud, sand, pebbles) give under your feet, which works the muscles harder, and you might end up with a bit more muscle than you really want (I've had a problem with that this year ... I'm looking a bit like an Eastern European shot putter from the waist down, and I can't get rid of it).

I do most of my running on a treadmill because a lifetime of sports has left me with creaky knees that like the extra "give" in the treadmill deck. Running on sand, if any is nearby, is also good.
I run anywhere from 5K to 5 miles, trying for a 7-minute mile pace. That's the other advantage of a treadmill - if you slack off, you will go flying off the back, so that's a real incentive to keep moving. Also, no dogs.
