You must run slowly and at least 30 minutes. Even with a quick walks. You will improve and your running skills will skyrocket if you stick with it. You may choose to run 3–6 times a week.

Start first five minutes with fast walking. Do not stretch heavily before run, just mildly warm up your body with some gently neck, arms and legs stretching. Another five minutes try to slow run.

Try to breathe through your nose. You will use greater lung capacity. If you feel tired in the middle of training, never mind, just walk instead of running. Start with running again if you feel to do so. Repeat this procedure for 30 minutes straight. At the end of your run, do not forget to gently stretch your muscles again.
