A good program will build your capacity without crushing you. When I did mine, the first two weeks of the program felt laughably light. But I built the ability to run 10k, and half-marathons.
But it was building capacity, and not training for maximal stress per run.
2nd this program. It eases you into building the habit.
I also think 30 mins twice a week is a bit rough to start. I would start with shorter but more frequent runs. This is how the program is designed too.
I’d consider doing a Couch to 10k program.
