I personally like the C25k though I'd rather call it "How to go from 0 minute of running to 30 min of running".

As for shoes: neither the most expensive shoe nor the shoe with the most support and padding is necessarily the best shoe for your feet. Go to store where they do an analysis. I had to run barefoot on the treadmill first and then with the running shoe that could have been a fit. I was recommended a light neutral shoe with a low heel drop in the end (running on 0 mm now) not one of the fancy shoes with this and that support.
Shoe replacement depends on what kind of shoe you're running in. If you're running in a shoe that provides a lot of support you need to replace it way earlier than a shoe that doesn't offer a lot of support.
What are you guys using to fuel on your longer runs? I sometimes have problems with the gels not digesting too well. I use Tailwind in my bottles but have not found much in the way of food. Thanks in advance
I use an app called Yoga Studio. It's amazing and has a number of "classes" at varying difficulties and lengths specifically for post-run. It's definitely my preferred method for stretching after I run!
This is a solid series of stretches, if yoga isn't your thing, http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/how-to-stretch-after-a -run.aspx

Nope definitely useful! Do you have any suggestions for what specific stretches I should be doing? Or a website you'd recommend?

Oh phew :) I was worried you'd read my reply and think "holy crap, what is Gwen even on about." So I'm glad it was useful!

I love it!! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! I can briskly walk for 30-60 minutes, which is what lead me to consider trying running again. To be honest, I never realized you could set up your own intervals in an app. Seems pretty obvious now that you say it!
I think the draw of C25K is that it presents as running for dummies, and is free. I'll download run keeper and set up the intervals as you suggested. I'm in it for the little no haul, so no rush (I do need reminding of that occasionally)
Good suggestion about the shoes. I just recently got a recommendation for a place to do just that.
Thanks again! I'll probably have more questions as I go along!

Sorry for the wall o' text. Between my own experience and my educational pursuits, this is one of my favorite topics :D
