Running is a skill to learn just like everything else. People with sedentary lifestyle start running, run out of steam after a minute, decide this is not for them and give up entirely. So I tried an introductory level of running schedule to overcome this. Every other day you need to invest ~30 minutes. In fact, the very first day you shouldn't be running more than 8*1 minute with 2-minute pauses. It was terribly exhausting. After a few weeks, I was able to run for 15 minutes straight. Metric apps like MeyerD's are good tools, but there's no substitute for well thought out training plans.
