Bit of Fell Running inspiration for you
Looks like fell walking to me 
Aye, but it was a fair way to go.
It seems I'm supporting a summer round of this again this year. I look forward to feeding millions of midge.
Try Orienteering, encourages you to start slow and get faster, gives you something to think about whilst you're going and as a byproduct it will massively improve your navigation and mapwork which is great for route planning.
I've gone from complete non-runner, non-orienteer to regularly running 8km to work and hopefully managing top 5 in our local winter night score league this year.
Thought I'd add to this, having done my first 5k today.
This was my second attempt to really get into running, I had an abortive attempt last winter which ended in March with persistent painful shin problems.
I returned to it in August and built up extremely gradually.
I used the Couch to 5k program but to be honest I personally think for non-runners, and definitely those overweight, it isn't suitable. You need to double or even treble the amount of time to build up to 5k in my experience. It's taken me 6 months to get to this point relatively injury free.
I did get the occasional twinge in my shin, when I did I spent whole evenings with an icepack and a few days off from running and it went completely. Then gradually built up again. Just repeat until legs are strong enough.
Other big tip is just walk, a lot! My office is 7 miles away, I spent weeks walking that everyday just to get used to being on my feet/legs.
Staying off tarmac is a given, I do no more than 1 run on pavements each week.
Be extremely patient, running is brutal, you have to allow the body to get conditioned.
Personally I've never bothered with 'special' trainers. I know some people swear by them. With exception specific and certain circumstances, most people will be fine with normal trainers. Mine cost me £25 on Amazon, hi-tec somethingorothers, I throw them away once worn out. But each to their own.
I used to run regularly in the Army, and ran several marathons, but that is 15 years ago and I am 4 stone heavier, but today is the furthest I've run since those days, and it feels fantastic.
I ran a lot back in my 20's, did a 36min 10k once. 😯
Twenty years & 4 stone later I have an on/off relationship with running. I'll have a few months enjoying it then the novelty wears off, so I bike more. I'm not fast though, but I can run happily for over an hour at 10 min mles, & thats what I like about it. My mate finds this hard to accept, that I dont go out to try & get faster every time. Entered a local 10k a few years back. Totally stuffed up before the event, over training - bad prep on the day. It was an absolute nightmare. I just about finished, in 1:10m. Right from the off I was flagging. Wife, kids & family had come along to see me & I after letting them down I swore I'd never do an event again. 🙁
As said, vary your route. Walking is as important as running at first.
I've always (on and off) been an off road jogger, claiming I was a XC runner would be exaggerating it a bit, but it's in my nature to be modest 🙂 . 6 miles XC will take me about 45-60mins depending on fitness levels. Never done any stretching or warm up, I just set off slowly and speed up a bit once the lungs get used to the tempo.
As others have said, I can understand the good practice of warming up and stretching before, but it's never caused me a problem not doing it. If I've had time off, which is often, I'm just very careful with foot placement assuming ankles are weak and ankles/calf muscles need building up, also starting off at less distance, 2 miles, 4 miles, 6 miles etc.
