Q. Okay, so I'm fourteen and kinda small for my age.
I'd like to start running for no reason in particular. Just for something to do.
I'm healthy. I eat okay. Not fat. A little on the skinny side -_________-
I was just wondering if you have any advice for me?
I went to one website and it said to run 3 days a week.
Week 1: Walk 4 min. Run 1 min. Do this for thirty min.
Week 2: Walk 3, Run 2. Do this for thirty min.
& so forth until I have the ability to run a straight 30 minute period of time, and gradually add ten minutes a week. (If that makes sense?)
I have some stretches down. My mom used to run a LOT, so she knows about that.
I'll buy some running shoes when I start.
But I just wanna know if you have any advice for me or even a better beginning routine.
I'm very new to this, so thanks!!!
YES. Tell me what I should eat before or after running. (Hopefully after. I cant run on a full stomach). But do this with detail pleasee.

Well you do NOT want to eat RIGHT before you go running because you'll get cramps so eat like an hour or a half hour before so your food will be digested and turned into energy for you to be able to run the distance. Eat carbs,proteins, and dairy through out the day to build muscle and to have the energy you need. Afterwards drink milk so your muscles will recover and wait til your hungry to eat after the run but eat something healthy. I wouldn't really suggest walking, maybe every now and then but running 3 to 5 times a week will get you in really good shape and its definitely a great way to build muscle in your legs, butt, hips, and abs. Another suggesion I wouldn't set a time goal for your self at least not yet anyways, this is what I do and it might be able to help you. So I run 3 miles 2 to 5 times a week(when its not snowing outside) and I time myself once a month to see if i've improved over time. By time my self I mean I use a stop watch and don't set a time for my self just because that way I see improvement. Since your a beginner though I wouldnt really suggest starting out with 3 miles I would suggest 1 mile to 1.5 miles 3 to 5 times a week then after a month or two start running further distances but even walking will help improve the distance you run but like I said run more then you go on walks. Hope I helped!:) Oh and some other things, what ever you do, do NOT stop running. If your worn down or tired just run slower, even if your running slower then you normally walk it'll improve the distance you'll be able to run. The last thing, if you can, run on grass because its better for your knees and if you can run with someone to keep you motivated.

Running books?
Reese g
I really want to start running. I'm out of shape completely and never ran more than a block in my life. Gyms cost too much so I want to run to get in shape and fit. I have good shoes (new balances) and a watch. I just need a good running book to guide me so I don't hurt my fat butt. Any suggestions?

The Runners World Complete Book of Running is a nice one for a beginner. It covers a lot of general stuff that you need to know.
The also have a version for women I think.
