I've heard that the best thing to do is increase your aerobic capacity before you start running, so that you're able to run in an aerobic zone, rather than an anaerobic zone.
I'm still working on it. I had been doing intervals, and was up to about 45 minutes of actual running a day, in five minute intervals, with about 1 minute between, but fuck me, my heart rate would go up to 160, and that's waaaaaaay outside of my aerobic zone. So I've backed off to try and build aerobic capacity first.
