What sort of stuff are you looking for?
Find a schedule.
Get a proper pair of running shoes.
If female - get a proper sports bra.
They would be the 3 priorities in my opinion.
Once you've got into some sort of routine set yourself a target, e.g. a race. Again, with races it's a good idea to build up the distances - if your eventual aim is a marathon, start with 5k, then 10k, then a half. This not only keeps your training steady but gradual, but is also easier psychologically as it's less daunting to up your distance by shorter amounts (it's for this reason that I always do a 22-mile training run in the weeks prior to a mara).
Maybe think about joining a running club - you don't have to run with them all the time but it can be motivating to have the company sometimes. Or the competition, depending on why and how you want to run. (My club runs are relaxed and sociable affairs - I prefer to do the harder sessions by myself).
Hope that helps and good luck!
Start when you're younger. ;-)
2/get good shoes
3/ Find warm place to sh*t

try and run off road as much as possible tarmac kills your joints
get a helly hanson lifa running top best purchase ever
and agree with hoose, run along routes where soft leaves are available
Good shoes are paramount, clothing isn't important really, but a good lubricant like Bodyglide can be a godsend when you start getting into longer distances - men as well as women can suffer chafed nipples in cold or wet weather and it's painful.
Vaseline
Sales at Lidl and Aldi for running gear
Good sports bra (if required)
Enter some races
Join a running club
Get off road-I wish Id done it sooner
