Beginners
Running Program 2
20 Minutes in
10 Weeks
This second beginners running program is a great one.
Two weeks longer than number one, but in the end you will be able to
run 20 minutes instead of 15.
So, you'll get from couch to 20 minutes of solid
running in only 10 weeks!

With these beginner running programs the important thing is that they
ask you to start off easily, and slowly build up your time spent
running.
You may find that the first few weeks look way too easy for
you.
If that's the case, just start at a point you feel will provide
sufficient challenge, whether that'd be week 2, week 3, etc.
Choose your starting point, then go from there.
A good idea when starting these running programs is to get yourself a Gymboss, a smart little device with two timers that makes these types of run/walk workouts a lot easier to do.
Before you start it would be a good idea to check the following pages:
