I would do one run from week one.

One run from week two.

One run from week three.

Then do week four and the rest of the program properly.

You will probably find it really easy to begin with, but I believe your body with all it's tiny micro muscles and ligaments etc needs to get used to running three times a week before you start pushing it again.

Good luck and enjoy it ! x

Wonderful idea!! I will do that.. thank you very much :D

Try tonic water and bananas to help with the cramps. I found that munching one an hour before running worked wonders.
