This is a program I’ve been using, and it’s great! I’ve only been able to do this 3-4 days a week so it’ll take me a *wee* bit longer.
Care to join me? 🙂 I know it may not be much, but it’s a start (for me, at least)!
(And, if you want to start out slower, look at the other part of this program 3 miles in 30 days)
day 1-4
– walk for three minutes, then jog for six minutes
– walk for three minutes, then jog for four minutes
– walk for two minutes, then jog for three minutes
– walk for two minutes, then jog for three minutes
– walk for one minute, then jog for one minute
– walk for two minute cool down
day 5-8
– walk for three minutes, then jog for eight minutes
– walk for three minutes, then jog for six minutes
– walk for three minutes, then SPRINT for 15 seconds
– walk for two minutes, then SPRINT for 15 seconds
– walk for two minutes, then SPRINT for 10 seconds
– walk for two minute cool down
day 9-11
– walk for two minutes, then jog for ten minutes
– walk for two minutes, then jog for eight minutes
– walk for one minutes, then jog for two minutes
– walk for one minute, then jog for one minute
– walk for two minutes cool down
day 12 & 13
– walk for one minute, then jog for sixteen minutes
– walk for two minutes, then jog for ten minutes
– walk for as long as you need for cool down
day 14 & 15
– walk for one minute, then jog for twenty minutes
– walk for two minutes, then SPRINT for 15 seconds
– walk for one minute, then SPRINT for 15 seconds
– walk for one minute, then jog for three minutes
– walk for two minutes for cool down
day 16
Jog for 30 minutes straight at an easy pace. Do not over do it, just nice & easy.
day 17
Jog for 30 minutes again but pick up the pace and make it for time. At this point you should be able to do 3 miles in 30 minutes (roughly 10 minutes per mile).
Looks like a great way to start getting in shape!
I just found your blog through the Rebelution and thought I’d check it out. Oh, I thought I’d let you know about a Google+ community that I’m a part of for Christian runners. It’s called Runners for Christ and has some great, encouraging posts as well as running tips and such. God bless and keep writing!
Why, howdy, Moriah! 🙂 I’ve noticed a big difference in my overall endurance and running skills with this program. It’s great. And, YES, I am interested in Runners for Christ! Thank you for the invite!
Blessings,
