I have personal experience in almost all what you have prescribed. I am 61 years old and am a practicing doctor. I jog 3 times a week a distance of 3 miles. Sometimes I feel like stopping and walking the rest of the distance. Then I distract myself and start thinking of something else. When I jog uphill I do not look at the top of the climb. keep looking at the immediate front, lean forwards and get the upper limbs to push as well; like propelling. yes always start slow and increase the pace as you go along and if you feel strong enough you can add a sprint as well, like I do towards the end of my jog. Jogging at our age is an endurance sport. I am ok because I have been doing it for over 35 years! If you are just starting your regime take it very gently. Don't try sprinting at all during your jog until your system has got used to jogging over a couple of years atleast. Good luck You are quite right.

I know that by the event date I need to be in good enough shape to run x-distance at y-speed for z-time or else I'm going to look pretty silly. It really motivates me to continue my workouts.
