    Tbh, it's just to start running. You already have the stamina for shorter intervals.
    Start with small intervals. Walk a while, jog a while, walk a while, jog a while.
    Afore you know it you will run more than walking.
    The trick is to never stop so slow down and start walking again if you feel like it, just don't stop moving forward.
    m2c

    It will make it easier if you pick a point in the distance and think "I'll just run to that point and then walk again", then do the same again.
