From 0 to 30 Minutes in a Month

There’s no universally applicable program for starting a running program. As I stress again and again in this book, regardless of whether I’m talking about how to build endurance or why to run or even what shoes to wear, running is an individual sport. As the old saying goes, every runner is an experiment of one.

What works for one runner might be a disaster for another. All runners are going to progress at different rates. Still, there are a few basic guidelines that all runners should follow. In telling you how to get going, I’ll give these guidelines to you. You might find what I recommend either too easy or too hard. If either of these conditions is the case, that’s fine. The guiding principle in your running should always be to stay in tune with what you feel comfortable with.
