Question

Answer

Look up couch to 5k it's a great program when you actually stick to it.

Answer

I would start by making sure I do some kind of cardio everyday. It can be walking for at least 30 minutes or a slow jog/walk. The goal is to help your legs become accustomed to your weight for at least 30 minutes. Graduate to a slow jog, as long as you can, then walk until your heartbeat gets back to normal. Repeat until your slow jogs get longer. This will help your lungs get stronger. If you're more advanced than I thought, then I guess you can do intervals to build speed. Goodluck!

Answer

Have fun with it! That's always the most important thing to remember no matter it is that you're doing (as long as you're doing it because you want to.) If this is your first 5K don't put so much pressure on yourself. Don't get me wrong, pushing yourself and testing yourself to see how strong you are is a good thing but you have to establish a starting point first. And the more honest you are with yourself when doing that, the better. Ü pace yourself throughout the run and learn how to control your breathing. That'll help you! I used to hate running but after learning about my pace and how to control my breathing, running became something I now enjoy doing. I usually begin a little faster than my "comfortable pace" and in the middle of the run go more "my pace" and then once I feel comfortable and controlled I push again and end the run at my "fast pace." Good luck! Ü

Answer

Walk don't quit. If you get discouraged mid run or can't get your self to start just walk. Come race day if you are consistent and keep your walk breaks no more than 1-2 minutes you should be able to run the whole race.
If you can run a mile (walk a minute)x3 before the Race you will be able to run 5k with out the beaks on race day. Something magic happens on race day.
Good luck!
