Increase by no more than 10% from week to week (in time or distance)
I have been trying to run until I feel really tired, which is obviously very inconsistent and dependent upon numerous factors.

If you want to run long distance you'll either need to be extremely lucky, prepare to injured/hurt alot or learn to be patient. Most people who start running and don't stick with it share your exact approach of too much too fast, then get frustrated and blame it on "I'm just not built for running" or "my knees can't handle it".

Most people that aren't patient have to become patient whether they want to or not b/c of the injuries they sustain from progressing too fast.
Good friend of mine who was an elite swimmer got a stress fracture in her tibia b/c she kept increasing her distance and speed faster than her body could handle. That walking boot sure slowed her down

it takes a lot more patience to sit through an injury.
i'm 40, and I now (knock on wood) hurt less when I run than I ever have. I'm not some crazy long-distance runner, but I will have done 4 half marathons in a 12-month period. Training for the fourth now.
Work your way up. Do other stuff to strengthen. Work in interval training/Galloway method stuff.
Shorten your stride. Fore- or mid-foot strike. I personally have benefitted greatly from going to a zero-drop shoe (Altra is my favorite), to encourage proper strike.
Make up your own mind on stretching. I do very little. I do use a hip roller that at least psychosomatically helps IT band.
