Just as if you are walking, but move your legs faster. (Couldnt help myself)
Anyway, start slow, especially if you've never really ran before. You can go by time or distance.
Distance - run for a block or two. When that feels too easy, up it to a few more blocks - and so forth.
Time - run for a few minutes (some people do 5 minutes, others go longer depending on speed and how in-shape they are). Walk for a few minutes, and then run again. Follow the pattern for a set amount of time (as in 30 minutes) or distance - half mile or whatever you want to start at.
Remember - when things are getting too easy, up the speed you run or the time/distance you run it at. Good luck and happy running

I joined a learn to run group at the running room.
They start you with alternating one minute running and two minutes walking for a total of twenty minutes. Do that 3 times a week to build muscle memory. Add one minute of running to each cycle each week and cut back to one minute of walking and by the tenth week you should be doing ten minutes of running with one -one minute break.
Skip the seven and nine intervals.
After that , you just add more 10's and 1's.
Remember to do each level three times a week cause your body needs to build muscle memory.

start with a slow jog on a flat surface. go for, hmm, 15-20 minutes. and once that seems fine, go to 30 mintues. after you can get to, like, an hour on flat ground, start on hills. not huge steep mountains or anything, but just small hills. you'll get there. it's gonna take a while though, that's for sure.
