But basically, just do approximations of the exercise until you can do the actual exercise, then do it until you can do 10. You might be a freak of nature and churn your way to 10 in a month, but it's highly unlikely.

Yep, concur exactly with this. The average improvement I've seen in people is going from 1 to about 3 or 4 in a month. (Which isn't too crazy, seeing as what gains the body develops the first time you properly start exercising your body.

Work your way up to 1, then keep doing it until you get more comfortable. I personally think 1 month is too short a time frame, but 2 months seems feasible.

Yeah, the first time you attempt pull ups most likely you're going to kill all your muscles from how
new and
exciting this all is, which will probably deter you from doing it from a while. Shame it's such a short terms notice.
Oh, and a tip about pullups, look upwards and over the bar and imagine that you "feel light". It will help.
Also to add to the running, if you're maintaining a slow pace make sure you're not exerting yourself more than you should be. Imagine your legs are pendulums and that they only need to move slightly to actually get anywhere. I would advise against music, as you will want to find your own natural rythm with running and correct any mistakes you feel. Music can intefere with this sometimes.
Oh, and if when you are jogging it starts to become unbearable there is no shame in slowing down to a walk for 30 seconds to a minute and starting to jog again. Stick with it.
We wish you all the best of luck in the fitness thing. Just some friendly advice; it never gets easier, you just get more used to the pain! Bwhaha!
