This Couch-to-5K running plan at CoolRunning.com works. I saw it last November on PJMedia.Com.
I never particularly liked running but I’ve stuck with this. I started at week 4.
The most significant tips for me were to precede the run with a five-minute walk, and to use dynamic stretching rather than static stretching — at least before the run.
Dynamic stretching advice can be found at the PJMedia link.
