I started running after my surgery. I started out slow for two reasons, 1. Cause I was and 2. Cause I didn't want to have any injuries. Each person is different and what I did may not work for you. I started with a 5k. I would run so far then walk the rest. After 2 weeks I would add a little more distance and just keep going from there until I was running the whole 5k. I then set up a schedule to run the 5k (everyday for me) and 2 days to add more distance so I could run 10ks 15ks or any other distance. It will come, it just takes time. When I run long distances I use the GU's to help out with endurance. I use them every 2 miles and make sure I get Water at the water stations. I also made sure that I had a Protein Bar with minimum 20 grams of Protein an hour before the race. I hope this helps and if you have any questions just let me know. Good luck with your new adventure!
