the boss man run/walk plan to running 30 minutes

Post by musculArgirl2 »

This is posted in the cardio section too but i think boss's idea for run/walking is great for starting out. especially if you have some weight to lose or are really new to working out.

Boss posted this in another post.

Try this.

Walk fairly moderately for 2 minutes 50 seconds, then Jog for 10 seconds. This is a cycle. Do 10 cycles, so you move for 30 minutes in total.

Do 5 cycles a week, doing 3 days, 1 off, 2 days 1 off, so you're not pushing yourself 5 days straight.

In week 2, walk for 2 minutes 40 seconds, jog for 20 seconds, 10 of those cycles making up your 30 minutes.

Week 3, walk for 2 minutes 30 seconds, jog for 30 seconds, 10 of those cycles making up your 30 minutes.

See a pattern emerging?

Try that and hopefully in around 17-18 weeks you'll be jogging 30 minutes non-stop .

I'm doing it right now. Week 2 this week. :)

I've started and stopped this method a few times. i'm going to start it again. I am quite quite oveweight and i have a mild case of plantar so i'm going to take it really slow. and increase at 5 second intervals each week. as long as feet don't bother me i want to go all the way but see what happens! with summer starting i think it's the perfect time to start!
