Dimity talks to three generations of runners—Jane Espy, 74; Katie Oglesby, 48; and Abby Oglesby, 21—to get their perspective on how to help kids start and enjoy running.

The trio let us in on:

Why a 5K is a great place to get them started;

What to say—or not say—to a kid who is complaining on the run;

Why a parent's mantra should be no pressure;

And how modeling healthy behavior is the best influence of all.
