Remember to progress slowly. The level of exercise depends on your current level of fitness. If you're not that great at running, you need to build up a lot of endurance. And of course the only way to do that is through running. But I suggest 1.5 miles everyday for the first week, then 3 miles/day for the few weeks after that, until eventually you hit 5 miles. This is good advice for long distance runners, which are supposed to sort of train themselves more than anything. However, if you're looking to be a sprinter, your coach will probably help you out, and you'll do a lot of intervals, short bursts, wind sprints etc. There are different components to both types of running, but all of them require a certain core level of fitness, so long distance running is never bad for you.
