I Tricked Myself into Liking Running

I absolutely can not do 10 minutes. I can barely run for 2 minutes without gasping for breath. I’d wager a majority of Americans are in the same boat as me. The obesity epidemic here is real. This solution is not as universal as you may think.

You are running too fast. If you are running so hard you can't have a light conversation, slow down. If your speed approaches walking speed, that's fine.

If you otherwise are reasonably healthy, I promise you that if you get out every day, in your running shoes, for ten minutes and run a bit and walk briskly when you can’t run, you’ll run those ten minutes within a few weeks.

Then you should absolutely not be running. Just walk for 10 mins.
