I started lightly jogging 50m then walking 50m. After huffing and puffing like a buffalo for a couple weeks. I started jogging more and walking less. Slowly made it to 10km. Running is fun regardless of how fast you go.

Exactly! And if you manage to get out into the nature, running can be more about relaxing and seeing the beauty around you and less about the effort spent. Perfect for one's mental health!

Of course, that doesn't help if you're actively training towards some performance level. :)
