One of the things that can put you at greater risk for a stress fracture is increasing your activity suddenly. If you haven't run in a month, 3 years, or 5 years, don't go out and try to run a marathon. Gradually build up your time, speed and distance. Depending upon your fitness level, start out slow. If you're a runner or jogger, start with a half mile or less depending upon your fitness.
A good rule for runners and jogger is to increase your distance by 10% or less each week. Go slow. Build up your distance, time and speed over several weeks and months.
