Just start off small. The tendency is to always do too much. Running is horrible. When I first started again I just thought why am I doing this this isn’t fun.
I just jogged a mile for a couple of weeks then just increased the distance gradually. I’m now at 4 miles 3 times per weeks and it’s enjoyable because I’ve acclimatised to the distance.

used to enjoy running and could knock out a 5k at reasonable pace
fast forward several years and two kids later i've put on a bit more weight. Not obese but want to shift this gut.
Last few times I've tried running I've developed a sore back. I'm working on my glute strength and I now have custom insoles which I'm assured will help, but I'm wondering if hill repeats might be a productive way to get back into running - intuitively it seems as if running up a hill and walking down it again would minimise the impact of my feet hitting the tarmac and still allow me to build fitness and lose a bit of weight.
Happy to be corrected though - thoughts?
