Running for Moxie
Here's what you do. It sounds so easy, but it's harder than it seems, especially if you haven't been working out (and you smoke)
Week 1: Every other day, walk 5 min and run for 2, alternating 5 reps for a total of 35 min. You may walk or run at any pace you choose, but do keep moving no matter what.
Week 2: Every other day, walk 5 min and run 4, 5 reps. Concentrate more on speed walking than running fast
Week 3: Same as 2, but 4 min of walking and 6 min running, 4 reps
Week 4: Walk 3 min, run 6, 4 reps and this time walk at least 3.5 mph and run at least 5 mph (get on a treadmill to gauge this out)
Continue cutting down on walking until you can run at least 15 min at a time w/ no walk breaks. Aim to run at least 4x a week, for 30-45 min a day. Don't forget to stretch after your workout.
