i am 40 years old. i haven't run even a mile since i was in high school am 100 pounds over weight and broke my ankle a couple years ago and it can still give me problems. want to start easy which program would be suggested?

A great place to start would be the flexibility series and the 4 week 5k program. Another fantastic way to get your body into a basic readiness shape is to take walks with a weighted vest. Try finding one that allows weights between 15-50lbs, and start walking 20-30 minutes per day, every day, in addition to following the flexibility series. In 1 month, let us know how you’re doing. I think you’ll be surprised by the progress and distances you’re able to run pain free. Good luck!

The weighted vest is a brilliant idea. I wear one - under a suit jacket - when I walk to work. It's free strength training...
