Meh!
I weigh 11,5 stone and I´m a 6foot 3inch tall guy.
And I wouldn´t call myself very skinny,my BMI is about 20 anyway and that´s normal.
Oh and I suck at running,no cardio at all,I can´t run more than 3km before having to stop and recover.

Jogging is really quite an unpleasant way to get fit - it makes you dizzy, sweaty, and nauseous. It also puts heavy strain on your knees and ankles. Going for a brisk walk for half an hour a day is a lot more pleasant and will get you the same result. It's also a lot easier on your joints and heart, and does great things in the cardiovascular department. I'd run with that if I were you (pun absolutely intended).
I'm not sure about that. I once read an article from a magazine that said that short distance runners get less heart attacks than long distance runners. It said that running short distances quickly is good for the heart.

It was a long time ago and the article was very short, so I don't really know whether it was true or not.

People say it's easier if you breathe through your nose, but I'm not intirely sure. I have to do X-country practice four times a week. I have learnt that running is not an easy skill to master. I do know from experience that taking big strides at full speed down-hill does effect your knees and be sure to warm up stretch and warm down or else you will feel the pain of ...
sore legs.(and the pain can last for a few weeks.)
