Like to Run?

I'm not a huge runner. I've done it before and it's hard! haha! I'm sure you all know this! I go through phases where I like to run and then I'll stop for a while and hate it and then I'll start back up again. If any of you out there are looking to start running I found a great article that tells you an easy way to do it! I got it off of besthealthmag.com.

This is their plan to get you running!

Running Plan: Month 1

week 1: Run one minute; walk two minutes. Repeat 10 times. Gradually increase the time of your runs by one minute.

by week 4: Run three minutes; walk one minute. Repeat 10 times.

week 5: Run three minutes; walk one minute. Repeat 10 times. Again gradually increase running times.

week 8: Run seven minutes; walk one minute. Repeat four times.

week 9: Run seven minutes; walk one minute. Repeat four times. Gradually increase running times.

week 12: Run 11 minutes; walk one minute. Repeat three times.

by week 16: Run 20 minutes; walk two minutes. Repeat twice.

At the end your ready for half an hour of running without stopping!!

I hope this will help any of you out there that are looking to start running again! I promise if you work at it running can be great! For me the first two miles are the HARDEST! It only gets easier from there!

Good luck and happy running!!
