How do i start running?

Answered by a doctor

“I am an absolute beginner” (I wonder what David Bowie would say about this?). However I would like to see myself in some major competition some day. To get there I need to train hard and smart. I just don’t know how to start. I would appreciate your tip or suggestion.
