unfortunately i don't live close to any dirt / grass trails. everything is cemented around here. but i'm looking to do the dirt trails on the weekend.
as for routine, i basically took the program from the serpentine running club in london (link: http://www.serpentine.org.uk/advice/begin/starting.php). the first 3 weeks will be just walking & jogging every other day. since i'm not a runner and terribly out of shape, i'd like to warm my body up first and then gradually add to it.
any tips / advice / routine suggestions?
oh i also have not found shoes and gear that i like.
Before you begin anything, I'd suggest talking to your physician too, just to make sure the cardio is all working right. Assuming that's all cool, start off with maybe 2-3 short sessions of 2-3 miles or 20-30 mins a week. Within 3-4 weeks, you'll be surprised at how much better you'll feel. The first few runs are always the hardest but getting out there and taking the first few steps is always the hardest part. Even if you feel really tired, just know that you'll feel better after your run -- I almost always do
