How To Start Running When You're Overweight: 5K to Marathons - Running Tips for Overweight Runners

I'm sharing my health journey and tips on running when you're overweight, out of shape, and older. If you're a beginner or restarting, this is your motivation. I always wanted to run but felt weird running in public. When my weight skyrocketed to nearly 200 pounds and I couldn't walk up steps without losing my breath, I decided to conquer my fear of running. I started running at 39 on a mission to improve my health, lose weight, and boost my confidence. As a beginner, I started with a run/walk strategy which improved my abilities and led to my first 5K race then advanced to running marathons. I’m often asked how did I start running; thus, I decided to make a video sharing my journey. Whether running for weight loss or improved health, I hope my experiences will help you throughout your running and fitness journey. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting a running program. Visit your local running store to test your running gait for the proper running shoes.
