nukeu how's it going now? it's gonna take at least a few weeks for your legs to get used to it, so just do short runs to start with and build up the distance gradually

so mental and physical go together, think about them both. e.g. if you are expecting to get tired after 10 mins that won't help, but if your legs aren't yet strong enough then you will get tired after 10

for biking certainly, doing some leg work in the gym helps (I'm talking about anaerobic here) - not too much, but a little will give your more strength and more confidence. always warm up and down with a quick jog or similar
