Maybe a mile or 10 minutes every day. Once you get comfortable with that, increase your mileage by 1/2 mile or 5 minutes. Slowly build up each week by a 1/2 mile or mile and eventually get to around 4-5 miles every day for 6 days a week. This may seem like a lot now, but you will feel much better when you get in season because the 3 mile runs will seem easy and speed work will be much easier because you have a solid base to work off of. Good luck in your running career! Start slow and do what you can do. Maybe a mile or 10 minutes every day. Once you get comfortable with that, increase your mileage by 1/2 mile or 5 minutes.

I walk, run, walk, run. I'm almost up to a mile, but hte place I run at is really hilly, so that slows me down a bit. Good luck, sorry I couldn't be of much help!!!

Thats all I can say. Start at a run/walk and then if you can run more than do it. Try and push yourself to do better, but not too hard because that can lead to injury. base mileage.

During the whole time your running just try not to stop running and walk. Keep Running! it wil get easier. I always told myself to not walk at least run the whole time. and at the end of your race finish hard, all out.
