Now, before you think that this program is too hard or too easy for
you, let me tell you that this program has already helped more than
1,000 people and counting to get to 30 minutes of non-stop running.
Think this is
too hard? This program can help you as well. Read this
story for example:
Learning to Love It: Chronicles of a Chubby Runner
Think this
program is too easy? Well, you don't have to start at
week 1. Why not start at another week, a point which you feel is more
challenging for you.
And when you start doing these running programs, do keep in mind to get yourself a clever exercise timer like the Gymboss.
The difference with a stopwatch is that the Gymboss has got two timers,
making it possible to time the run-part and the walk-part.
Makes doing these run/walk exercise programs so much easier!
Before you start doing this running program, please make sure to read a

etc.
