Running is probably one of the hardest activities to start next to swimming... my team swims 3 times a week and that's it... (feeling a little burned out too)... BUT, I'd like to start running - and was wondering on if you guys have any tips.
I've googled it a bit and a lot of people say to start slow - walk a majority of the time and run in little spurts and build up from there.
Anyways, fellow swimmers - any other advice to give?

Hee hee - the Couch to 5K program is what I have been looking at (and will be going by)! A couple weeks back I either saw an article about it on Yahoo or MSN. My goal is not a 5K... I want to just be able to run, that's all.
Everyone had great points about when to use the iPod. I would probably only use it when on a treadmill or at the track.
More than likely I will be running outside pushing my 1 year old in the stroller. I can talk about whatever I want to him... ha ha!
And yes, I'm going slow. I just need the exercise... a jog is perfect for someone built like me (not small).
