While the Tuesday and Saturday distances progress, Thursday's runs stay the same until the fourth week of your training. A day of rest. Your Saturday mileage continues to increase. The easiest approach is to simply head out the front door, walk 30 minutes, turn around, and come back. Or get in your car and drive to some scenic trail where you will enjoy walking more.
Children learn to run almost as soon as they learn to walk.
Visit any elementary school playground, and you'll see kids running all over the place. It is only as adults that people forget to run and sometimes have to be taught again. All rights reserved.
