How do you know you’re improving?
•Your 30-minute runs start to feel easier
•Your pace increases while your heart rate stays the same
•Your pace stays the same, but you can maintain that heart rate for longer runs
How can you progress or regress your running?
•Once you can comfortably complete 30-minute easy runs, progress by adding 5–10 minutes to one run each week
•If 30 minutes of continuous running is too difficult, perform walk–jog intervals
-Start with 1 minute of running and 1 minute of walking
-Gradually increase the running interval by 1 minute as long as your heart rate remains stable
