New to running?

Want to start running but don't know where to start?

Try walk / run intervals. Start with a goal of 20-30 minutes of activity. Warm up by walking briskly for 5 minutes. Then start running for as long as you can. Stop and walk when you get tired. Repeat for the remainder of the time. The more you practice the shorter your walking intervals will be. Before you know it, you will be running continuously for the entire 30 minutes.

ex: 5 min walk, 2 min run / 1 min walk, repeat 5 times

  1. Laura,
    What a great idea!!! Can't wait to see the blog grow!

    Here's a question:
    Let's pretend that I manage a 1/2 an hour of running. Any recovery tips to get me back out on the road faster? How often should I run?

    All Day!
