I learned alot about running this year as I trained for my first marathon. Jeff Galloway's book "Marathon" was helpful especially the encouragement to do the walk/run strategy. I'm sure there are plenty of sites that would give you more info if you search these terms. In general, you run a while and then walk a while. Then you gradually increase the running and decrease the walk breaks to about a minute or so. Galloway is a strong advocate that the total miles is what is building your endurance so you don't have to feel guilty about running a mile and walking a mile as a stepping stone to doing more.
