I used to loathe running until I took a 5km learn to run clinic through my local Y. They taught me how run properly and build up your endurance through intervals.
Bits of Advice:
Buy shoes from a store the specializes in running, fit is just as critical as the pair of Alden Bluchers we want to buy so know your foot, is it narrow, wide, do you over pronate, have flat feet, stuff like that. Get a proper fit and your feet will thank you.
Join a running group with people in the same boat as you are. Start slow and build up.
I have been running off and on since 2009 and currently I'm doing 11 minute run one min walk intervals for 45 min on the treadmill and road along with a weight training routine. I feel great and I'm feeling leaner than I have been for a few years.
I have gone from hating running because I sucked at it in phys-ed class to loving it, running has become a form of zen meditation for me.
