Absolutely not. Talk to a doctor, make sure you are healthy enough and maybe try to lose some of your gut before you start. The trick is to start slowly with interval training. Mix walking with your running and be very disciplined in the timing of the intervals. For example start with 1 minute running and two minutes walking and slowly increase your running times keeping the walking interval at one to two minutes. Try to add a minute of running every week. Don't worry about speed and be aware of what is going on in your body.
