Beginner’s Schedule

A word about the following schedule: I don’t know what your usual week is like, so it would be silly for me to say that you have to start your workout week on Sunday, then go again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. When you go is going to depend on when the workout meshes best with the rest of your life. So in the schedule, I’ve marked workouts as the first one of the week rather than noting on which days to do them. What’s important is following the progression and planning your workouts so that you have that crucial recovery time between workouts. In other words, try not to do the four workouts for a week on four consecutive days.

And now, at last, a schedule of how to progress from 0 to 30 minutes of running in a month. Remember, before starting workout 1 of week 1, you should already be able to walk for 30 minutes, four times a week. If you can’t do a given workout, don’t worry. Stay with that one until you can and move on to the next one only after you’ve mastered the prior one.
