Transitioning fom walking in the morning to running.
Do you have any tips you can give me? At the moment I walk around 7km maybe a little more but want to start jogging. When I was younger I walked around the same distance and started jogging by doing it a bit at a time i.e. I would job to a street sign then walk then when I could jog to another land mark. Doing this twice a day over time enabled me to jog at least 40% of the route I took which is something I would like to do again. IS that the best way to achieve my goal? Is there something else I can do to improve? Id love to be able to jog the entire route which is around 7km or more. Is it ok to walk/jog that far twice in one day? In the morning and at night; or is that too much?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
That is one good way to do so. Another would be to a high school track and do your walking and training to get back into jogging as it gives you a better set of objectives to work with.
You start by walking the track then jogging one of the turns and walking both of the straightaways then when you are up to it jog both of the turns. Then transition to jogging one of the straightaways and walking the rest of the track. You keep adding more jogging until
you are able to jog the entire track comfortably for the entire 7KM you wish to jog. Once you reach this goal you can leave the safety and security of the track for a more interesting jogging route.
