It's all in the question, I want to start running/jogging and i'm 14.
Mainly because I need to start now as I want to be in the police when I'm older.
Also I'm fed up of getting rubbish times in running at school.
Any tips?
thanks x

Try to find places to run that arent on concrete or tar, like a rubberized track, it is better on your knees. Bring a water bottle with you to cool down, wear sun screen. Find light running shorts and a running tank. Make sure you stretch and have good form when you run.

- LOL you sound EXACTLY like I was when I started. Except you're a girl and i'm a boy...
Anyway - When I decided to start running, for the first while I did 1.75km runs, then doubled to 3.5 (which took me 15-16 minutes). I then went up to 4 which now takes me 18 minutes. It's all in your buildup I reckon - if you just eventually build up distance like me soon you'll be a good long distance runner
=D - Ask your friends if they run. If you do, go running with them, they can show you new routes and keep you company and you can encourage each other!
