I have a chronic health problem (at least one, anyway) and very variable energy. I miss running a whole lot, but it's hard to get started again. I know there's that "couch to 5k" thing, and I'm still considering it, but the jogging and walking just don't seem like much fun - though I guess the point is that it gets you up to being able to run a decent amount relatively simply and easily.

Does anyone have suggestions about how to run more or less regularly despite unreliable energy levels? Does anyone know of methods besides the "couch to 5k" thing, for easing oneself gently back into running? Recommendations of books and websites are appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :)

I'll take a look at the Runner's World thing, thanks for the suggestion. It seems that interval training is the way to do it.

I think posting here occasionally will help keep me motivated, so you'll be hearing from me :)
